I know Schottky Diodes are faster. But which parameter determines how much voltage or how high a voltage can be rectified?
For example, if you have a 50 V peak AC wave and a 200 V peak AC wave what makes one diode capable and the other one not? Especially by reading the datasheet parameters.
Is it the reverse breakdown voltage? The rectified forward current? Etc.
How does the frequency of the wave come into affect?
If you know which, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY so that I can understand this going forward?
Thank you very much.
By the way, I've read the allaboutcircuits section on diodes.
