1. What is the maximum reverse voltage (PIV) of a rectifier diode?
The Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) is the maximum reverse voltage that a diode can withstand. When selecting a diode, the PIV must be higher than the maximum reverse voltage in the circuit, usually twice or more the input voltage.
-
2. What is the difference between Schottky diodes and traditional silicon rectifier diodes?
Schottky diodes have a lower forward voltage drop (typically 0.2V to 0.3V) and faster switching speed, making them suitable for high-frequency applications. However, their reverse voltage is relatively low and is typically used in circuits with lower voltages.
-
3. How to determine if the rectifier diode is damaged?
Use a multimeter to measure the forward and reverse resistance of a diode. If the diode exhibits low impedance or high impedance in both directions, it may have been damaged. Under normal circumstances, there should be low impedance when conducting in the forward direction, and high impedance when conducting in the reverse direction.

4. How to improve the efficiency of rectifier diodes?
The use of Schottky diodes or fast recovery diodes can reduce forward voltage drop and reverse recovery time, thereby improving the efficiency of rectifier circuits, especially in high-frequency applications.
