Many power management applications use Schottky diodes for the parallel operation of multiple power sources. This type of power redundancy is often found in systems with solid-state drives (SSDs), ...

Fig. 1. Typical diode full-wave bridge. Full-wave diode bridges are found in many electronic systems (Fig. 1). At typical AC power line voltages, the drop across the diodes has little impact on the ...

Robust systems often have several different power sources, and switches are implemented to separate the power supplies from each other to avoid damage. In most cases, multiple diodes are placed in the ...
