The circuit was designed to provide a means for measuring the operating voltage of zener diodes before applying on a circuit. Zener Diode – a special kind of diode that permits the flow of current in ...

When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

After lying dormant in research laboratories for decades, silicon carbide (SiC) is beginning to realize its potential as a substrate material. “[Transistor inventor William B.] Shockley called it the ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage drop. Which isn’t to say that with some effort we cannot create an ideal ...

This course is primarily aimed at first year graduate students interested in engineering or science, along with professionals with an interest in power electronics and semiconductor devices . It is ...

Diodes Incorporated has announced two automotive-compliant voltage translators for use in environments with ambient temperatures up to 125°C. The PI4ULS5V108Q and PI4ULS5V202Q are designed for ...

A semiconductor diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction, acting like a one-way valve for electricity. It is commonly used for voltage regulation, converting ...

Diodes has launched the AL8843Q and AL8862Q automotive-compliant DC-DC buck LED drivers, designed for single and multiple LED strings in and around vehicles. Applications include daytime running ...

Utilizing the photo-sensitive nature of silicon, VMI has created a line of hermetically sealed, high voltage optocouplers and opto-diodes in versions that can be assembled in series configuration for ...

The circuit has been constructed to test and measure the voltage rating of zener diodes. To be able to test the voltage rating of a zener diode up to 50 VDC, a small transformer and a single 555 timer ...
