In low voltage converters (around 10 volts and less), the voltage drop of a diode (typically around 0.7 to 1 volt for a silicon diode at its rated current) has an adverse effect on efficiency. One classic solution replaces standard silicon diodes with Schottky diodes , which exhibit very low voltage drops (as low as 0.3 volts).

Zener diode for high-reliability applications in QuadroMELF package. Because of their cylindrical shape and small size, these components can roll off the workbench or circuit board before they have been soldered into place. As such, there is a joke which suggests an alternate meaning for the acronym: Most End up Lying on the Floor. They are ...
The reverse bias rating of the N-drift region to collector P+ diode is usually only of tens of volts, so if the circuit application applies a reverse voltage to the IGBT, an additional series diode must be used. The minority carriers injected into the N-drift region take time to enter and exit or recombine at turn-on and turn-off.
The first electric-powered torque amplifier was invented in 1925 by Henry W. Nieman of the Bethlehem Steel Company of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. [1] It was intended to allow manual control of heavy equipment; e.g., industrial cranes, artillery, etc. Vannevar Bush used Nieman's torque amplifier as part of his differential analyzer project at M.I.T in the early 1930s.

The precision rectifier, sometimes called a super diode, is an operational amplifier (opamp) circuit configuration that behaves like an ideal diode and rectifier. [ 1 ] The op-amp-based precision rectifier should not be confused with the power MOSFET-based active rectification ideal diode.
A semiconductor diode is a device typically made from a single p–n junction.At the junction of a p-type and an n-type semiconductor, there forms a depletion region where current conduction is inhibited by the lack of mobile charge carriers.
The voltage drop V F across the forward-biased diode in the circuit of a passive rectifier is undesired. In this active version, the problem is solved by connecting the diode in the negative feedback loop. The op-amp compares the output voltage across the load with the input voltage and increases its own output voltage with the value of V F.
