A simplified diode switch in the reverse biased Off position. To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground ...

and Basics of a semiconductor. In this module, you will learn the fundamental operating principles, design, fabrication techniques, and applications of two of the most widely used light-emitting ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

As the voltage is increased, the current decreases. This feature makes tunneling diodes especially useful in oscillators and radio frequency (RF) applications. There are two basic types of tunnel ...

"For Credible Lasers, See Inside." THE LASER IS LESS THAN three years younger than the space age. Just days after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I on October 4, 1957, Charles Townes and Gordon ...

It is the second course in the "Semiconductor Power Device" specialization that focusses on diodes, MOSFETs, and IGBTs but also covers legacy devices (BJTs, Thyristors and TRIACS) as well as ...

Littelfuse’s TPSMB asymmetrical TVS diodes are designed for next-gen EV power-efficient onboard charging and inverters.
