TAIYO YUDEN Provides Reliable Filtering in Small Cell 5G Base Stations

This use case from TAIYO YUDEN takes a closer look at how small cell base stations aid faster 5G adoption, the role of RF filtering in 5G wireless connectivity, and how TAIYO YUDEN solutions help provide seamless connectivity in 5G applications.


Comparing Trench and Planar Schottky Rectifiers

Comparing Trench and Planar Schottky Rectifiers

This white paper offers a closer look at the structure and the benefits of Trench Schottky rectifiers. This resource covers topics such as, why Trench rectifiers are typically the correct choice when a better trade-off between forwarding voltage drop and the leakage current is required, why they should also be selected in high power density applications where the ambient temperature is elevated, and what makes them ideal for applications with switching speeds above 100 kHz.
