Technology:
Bellnix that
specializes in semiconductor parts successfully developed a diode characterized
by world’s smallest power loss. The company reduced the power loss of the new
diode to 0.08 volt, one-seventh of the power loss of the schottky barrier diode
assumed to have the world’s smallest power loss at present. Because a diode is
a semiconductor element that applies electric current in one direction, it is
used for the prevention of backflow and rectification. It loses a certain
amount of power when electric current is applied. That is, the smaller the
power loss is, the higher the energy efficiency is. Besides, no measures for
heat releases are required.
Bellnix succeeded in
minimizing the power loss by applying its original circuit technology. The new
diode is 20% more expensive than the existing diode, but it does not need a
radiator plate. Thanks to low power loss, it will help lengthen the travel
distance of an e-vehicle and increase the generation efficiency of a photovoltaic
generation panel. It will be put on the market in October.
