What is a Silicon Diode?
Silicon diode is a type of power diode that is constructed using silicon semiconducting material. These diodes are ideal for use in motor control and drives, air conditioning PFC, general-purpose drives (GPD), industrial SMPS, AC/DC converters, boost diode in PFC stages, general-purpose inverters, freewheeling function, polarity protection, ultrasonic systems, welding, back-off-diodes, and emergency generator.
Key features of Silicon Diode:
- Soft switching.
- Fast recovery.
- Low reverse recovery charge.
- Low forward voltage.
- Low leakage current.
- Good surge current capability.
- Easy paralleling.
