What is a charge pump and why is it useful? (Part 1)
It’s a very common challenge in circuits to need to convert an available DC source to a lower or higher voltage. For the high-to-low conversion, one option to use a low dropout regulator (LDO), but how to easily transform a lower voltage into a higher one? For AC voltages, the answer is well-known: use a […]
1200V rectifiers address critical design parameters of high-frequency systems
Central Semiconductor introduces the CSICD05-1200 (5A, 1200V) and CSICD10-1200 (10A, 1200V) Silicon Carbide Schottky rectifiers, featuring the true 2-lead DPAK-2L (TO-252-2L) package. Both devices are ideal for high-frequency systems where energy efficiency, low switching losses, and thermal performance are critical design parameters. Silicon Carbide provides a stable solution for a wide range of temperatures and […]
