A conventional low-voltage silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum reverse voltage, for example with the 1N4001 rectifier it’s 50V. For the higher ...

Perhaps you’ve also used them to generate a stable voltage drop because they have a pretty constant voltage across them when current is flowing, but that’s it. Diodes: the shortest Hackaday ...

Built on advanced thin wafer technology, these diodes feature a low forward voltage drop of 1.36 V, reducing conduction losses and boosting efficiency. They also outperform silicon-based ...
