What we really want is an ideal diode with zero voltage drop. Sadly, such a thing does not exist; however, there is a type of diode with a lower voltage drop — the Schottky diode. What we really want ...

A new 600V GaAs Power Schottky diode is compared with Si and SiC diodes in a 200W CCM-PFC system. With both, GaAs and SiC, the PFC system losses were reduced up to 25%. Higher on-state losses of GaAs ...
