To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground through R1 and the cathode tied to the Vcc power rail.

Infineon Technologies AG has introduced what it claims is the world’s first gallium nitride (GaN) power transistor with an integrated Schottky diode.

As active devices go, it doesn’t get much simpler than a diode. Two terminals. Current flows in one direction and not in the other. Simple, right? Well, then there are examples with useful side ...
