Instead of protecting the MOSFET directly, a more cost-efficient alternative is to connect a Zener diode in parallel to the drain-gate path. Once the Zener breaks through, the MOSFET switches on to ...

RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green, the VGSOTxx and VGSOTxxC series provide ESD immunity in accordance with IEC 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605 (±30kV air and contact discharge), as well as the ...

Vishay has launched 16 SiC Schottky diodes with 650-V and 1200-V ratings in SOT-227 packages, enhancing efficiency in high-frequency applications. The devices offer, according to the manufacturer, the ...

Diodes in parallel shouldn't be a problem. They have a positive temperature coefficient, so if one diode starts to overheat its forward voltage increases and more current flows through the other ...
