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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

UNSW researchers have developed an intrinsic-adjusted single-diode model that explicitly accounts for radiative and Auger ...

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 ...

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 ...
