After watching your video I couldn't help but muse over decades of "Academia" looking down their pompous snorkels at the mere mention of ANY information garnered from the internet. I'm long retired now but back in my early years I was owner / operator of a Land Mobile Radio / Marine Electronics shop. Back in those days we actually did component level diagnostics and replacement. Four evenings a week I was teaching an Industrial Electronics course for the Florida's adult ed program. A stick of chalk and a blackboard were the tools of the day. It's from that perspective that I can unequivocally state that your entire presentation is nothing short of superb! Absolutely every aspect of your presentation is STELLAR! Video, content structure and above all ... content depth & accuracy worthy of any institute of higher learning.
Hey, I subscribed!!!

The concise, informative and TO THE POINT nature of your videos is something that a lot of other Youtube contributors could learn from.  Two thumbs up.  Okay at least one for sure.

Thumbs up for an excellent use of the Predator thermal vision sound effect.

You are one of the best teachers ever.Even though it is not in my primary language I could always understand you videos and humor very clearly.I know that making these videos must take a lot of time especially at this quality.so Thank you!

That poor diode at the end. You took its magic smoke away. They can't work without their magic smoke, and once it comes out, you can't get it back in.

Hey - I never realized that you included a reference to my switching time video in here! Thanks!

Hi, I trained as a telecommunications tech way back in the late 70's. I have lived decades thinking I knew all about this stuff, but haven't been actually building circuits or anything even like that. (I've been dealing with more & more optical fibre technology lately) I found this video re-educational and a useful reminder that pigeonholed old knowledge is vague and unreliable. Thanks!

Everyone says or writes about the fast switching without any examples. Seeing it first time in your video made sense instantly :)

Probably the best video to date I've seen clearly describing the difference between a diode and a schottky diode -  in just 6 minutes!

Great video with oscilloscope waveforms and detailed explanations covering the relevant minute points. Thank you for all the practical demonstrations. Good knowledge for an electronics engineer.

Please cover popular ICs, diacs, triacs and other lesser used components

Afrotechmods consistently boils down the essential points to make it vastly easier for a beginner to understand what is going on.

I studied electronics many moons ago but for some reason Schottky diodes were never covered in the course. Not a problem with this excellent tutorial 👍

Chotchkie's diodes have to have at least 15 pieces of flair to function properly

Thanks for the reference to my TRR video!  Nice job as always!

I enjoy the way you demonstrate in a no nonsense way these differences. I did not realize there were the differences between a normal diode and a shottky. Thank you again for your information.

Wish I knew of these videos back in college. Great job explaining and showing!

We used to use schottky diodes on our RC car brushed motors back in the day. I never knew why and kinda still don't know what's the purpose. They came with the electronic speed controller and it was suppose to be applied across the motors positive and negative tabs. It was for racing purposes so the speed controllers didn't have reverse. They were forward and brake only.

The predator references and sound effects are most definitely appreciated :).

Nice clear video, especially the important detail of the high leakage currents that
Schottky diodes can have at temperature.

Just have to quibble with your use of capitalized SI units:
The units are volts, amperes (amps), watts.  The people are called Volta, Ampere and Watt,
you only capitalize the names of people, not units (the exception is degress Celcius,
because that is the name of a person, but kelvin is the unit of thermodynamic temperature, Kelvin refers to lord Kelvin.)  This distinction is often handy, for instance
clarifying that Ampere's law isn't just about amperes...  Furthermore if you think
about it we'd never capitalize Inch, Metre, Foot, Gallon, Pound...

Now I'm worrying if you can say "schottky diode" or always have to say "Schottky diode"... :)
