A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...

The Role of Zener Diodes in Clipper Circuits Zener diodes are particularly effective in clipper circuits because they activate when the voltage exceeds a certain level—the Zener voltage. This ...

Skyhawkson] got ahold of an Apollo-era printed circuit board which he believes was used in a NASA test stand. He took high ...

A p type zone in contact with an n type zone forms a pn diode. The two p and n zones of the pn diode are discerned, each of which is divided to one neutral zone in contact with the external electrodes ...

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are PN junction devices that give off light radiation through electroluminescence when forward biased. They are used as various indicators in aviation, automotive and ...

Founded in 1974 by David Oreste DiFrancesco and John Johnson, Salt Lake City, Utah–based DOD became one of the major players ...

Kevin] doesn’t stock zener diodes anymore. Why? Because for everything he used to use zeners, he now uses TL431 bandgap ...

A remarkable proof-of-concept project has successfully manufactured nanoscale diodes and transistors using a fast, cheap new ...

Researchers have demonstrated a prototype mobile all-light communication network, paving the way for seamless connectivity ...

Featuring three-way selectable clipping, DOD promises the most versatile OD/Preamp 250 ever, but you'd best hurry – it's ...
