A diode is an electric device which allows the flow of current only in one direction and restricts the current flow in the opposite direction. A diode starts its operations when a voltage signal is ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When devices are being designed to operate at low voltage, it’s often necessary to take into account the voltage drop ...

Here we introduce some of the most important high voltage diodes available. The most commonly specified type of high voltage diodes are PIN, Schottky, and Zener PIN Diodes PIN diodes are three-layer ...

Diode arrays, such as a SIP diode array, are a single inline or system packaged diode array. The objective of SIP diode arrays is to merge many electronic requirements of a functional system or a ...

How an advanced material can become both p- and n-material based on temperature gradient. The process by which this material was discovered and enhanced. The possible applications of this device ...

Laser diodes can destroy themselves in a few nanoseconds, so testing the response and stability of a feedback-stabilized laser-diode driver can be expensive. The simulator circuit in Figure 1 shows a ...

In the first part of this series, we took a look at a “toy” negative-differential-resistance circuit made from two ordinary transistors. Although this circuit allows experimentation with ...
