This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

This digital thermometer circuit diagram uses a common 1N4148 diode as the temperature sensor. The temperature coefficient of the diode, -2 mV/°C is exploited for this application to create an ...

[Hales] has been on a mission for a while to make his own diodes and put them to use and now he’s succeeded with diodes made of sodium bicarbonate and water, aluminum tape and soldered copper. By ...

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

The new Schottky barrier diode helps protect image sensors from damage, even when they're powered off, from sunlight.

Normally, when you want a low DC voltage from the AC line, you think about using a transformer of some kind. [RCD66] noticed that an AC monitor meter must have some sort of power supply but had no ...

Researchers have invented a new organic polymer tunnel diode -- an electronic component that could one day lead to plastic computer memory and plastic logic circuits on computer chips. Today, computer ...

ProTek Devices introduced a new ultra-low capacitance steering diode / transient voltage suppressor array (TVS array) designed to deliver circuit protection in Gigabit Ethernet applications, ...
