Hi,
I was curious about the diode question, so simulated it then did a breadboard version with a typical rectifier, a typical fast signal diode and what I think has to be a typical Schottky diode. I only measured voltage to ground from the anodes as that was the question.
If I can ask, why does the simulation show entirely different results to the real circuit(s)?
Also, is the Schottky leakage really that high normally, compared to the standard silicon rectifiers (or did I use a damaged diode or maybe the SIL pins affect the reading)? It seems very high, in my ignorance, i.e. the ~600mV compared to ~10mV to ~20mV for the other two.
Thanks.
