Schottky Diode Course
This course teaches Schottky diode selection and design for efficient buck converters. Participants learn about loss, thermal, EMI, and reliability tradeoffs, gain confidence in reading datasheets, and select robust parts for 24 V to 5 V, 5 A power electronics applications. Hands-on practice includes building a 24 V to 5 V, 5 A, 300 kHz buck converter with focus on diode fundamentals, ratings, switching, loss estimation, thermal management, EMI control, datasheet analysis, part selection, reliability, protection, and layout techniques for cooler, safer, more efficient hardware.

What will I learn?
This course provides a focused, hands-on path to mastering Schottky diodes in power designs. Learn diode fundamentals, key ratings, and switching behavior, then apply them in a 24 V to 5 V, 5 A, 300 kHz buck converter. Practice loss, thermal, and EMI estimation, read and compare datasheets, select primary and backup parts, and implement reliability, protection, and layout techniques for cooler, safer, more efficient hardware.
