What will I learn?
This course provides a targeted, practical guide to mastering Schottky diodes in power electronics. Participants explore diode basics, ratings, and switching traits, then implement them in a 24 V to 5 V, 5 A, 300 kHz buck converter design. Key activities include calculating losses, thermal effects, and EMI, interpreting datasheets, selecting optimal components, and using reliability, protection, and layout strategies for superior performance.
