App note: Characteristics and applications of fast recovery epitaxial diodes (FRED)
All about ultrafast diodes app note from IXYS. Link here (PDF) During the last 10 years, power supply topology has undergone a basic change. Power supplies of all kinds are now constructed so that heavy and bulky 50/60 Hz mains transformers are no longer necessary. These transformers represented the major part of volume and weight […]
