In many applications where the input is not under system control but rather connects to the outside world, such as test equipment, instrumentation, and some sensing equipment, it is possible for input ...

Data diodes are re-emerging as a preferred control as IT-OT convergence expands the industrial attack surface and regulators ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Silicon Schottky diodes are used in power applications because of their low forward voltage drop, which allows lower ...

We might tend to take the word “diode” for granted if we’re thinking of a “diode” as just a two-lead or two-terminal device that gets used in this or that place for this or that purpose. It can become ...

Varactor (or “varicap”) diodes are used primarily in radio-frequency (RF) circuits to provide a capacitance that can be varied by changing the applied voltage. These types of diodes often are used for ...

[Johannes] has been reading Hackaday for years but this is the first project he’s tipped us off about. It’s a laser engraver built from a DVD burner diode (translated). It turned out so well we wonder ...

Diode maker HY Electronic (Cayman) has become a supplier of rectifier diodes used in ICCB (in-cable control box) of power charging facilities for electric vehicles (EVs), according to the company. HY ...
