What is a charge pump and why is it useful? part 1
Converting an available DC source to a lower or higher voltage is a very common challenge in circuits. One option for the high-to-low conversion is to use a low-dropout regulator (LDO), but how can an LDO easily transform a lower voltage into a higher one? The answer for AC voltages is well-known: use a transformer, […]
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 […]
