Although they are a simple device, diodes do have a number of traits to consider. These traits are often application dependent. Some applications include: rectifiers, signal ORing, transistor turn off ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

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 ...

Details about avalanche and flyback-type converters. MOSFETs and linear mode. In Part 1, we discussed the body diode, which is a PN junction diode that lies inside of the MOSFET, between the n- region ...

RECENT numbers of the Soviet journal “Radiotekhnika i Elektronika” contain articles which reveal some indication of the course of Soviet research on tunnel diodes. The initiator of this work is Prof.
