Battery Chargers Get Faster and Smaller with Patented Diode Technology from STMicroelectronics
Geneva, June 10, 2014 – STMicroelectronics’ new family of Field-Effect Rectifier diodes (FERD) offers a unique trade-off between low forward voltage drop (VF) and low leakage current (IR) that allows designers of equipment such as battery chargers and notebook adaptors to meet the most stringent energy-efficiency standard requirements without the expense of using synchronous rectification techniques.
Standards such as Energy Star 6.0 test the limit of what can be achieved with conventional Schottky diodes in … Read More → "Battery Chargers Get Faster and Smaller with Patented Diode Technology from STMicroelectronics"
