Discussing How to Choose the Right Diode Model 2

7. Special Functions: If special functions (e.g., voltage regulation, fast recovery, Schottky, TVS, etc.) are required, specific types of diodes with these functions must be selected.diode

Next, we will specifically discuss some common types of diodes and their selection criteria:

Rectifier diode: Used to convert alternating current into direct current. When selecting, in addition to the aforementioned parameters, the operating frequency must also be considered.diode

Schottky diode: Features low forward voltage drop and fast switching characteristics, suitable for high-efficiency power supplies and high-frequency applications.diode

Zener Diode: Used to provide a stable reference voltage. When selecting, pay attention to its breakdown voltage and power dissipation capability.

TVS Diode (Transient Voltage Suppressor): Used to protect circuits from transient voltage surges. Key parameters include peak pulse power, transient voltage, leakage current, etc.diode
