Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful ...

One problem with 3D-printed metal parts is that stresses due to the expansion of heated material and contraction of cold material can build up in parts while they are being printed, generating forces ...

PIN diodes, which sandwich a lightly doped intrinsic (I) region between heavily doped P and N regions, are used extensively in RF and microwave applications. Common applications of PIN diodes are ...

In the first part of this blog series The thermic diode, a new potentially revolutionary simple electronic element, Part 1 I've described the thermic diode and the related new disciplines of phononics ...

In 3D printing, residual stress can build up in parts during the printing process due to the expansion of heated material and contraction of cold material, generating forces that can distort the part ...

Developed by Power Integrations, the 600-V 12-A diodes feature reverse-recovery charge claimed to be the lowest in the industry. Generally speaking, silicon-carbide (SiC) technology provides superior ...

Justin Mamaradlo continues his exploration of the P2 with a look at the diode bridge, including a modified version, and the offset adjust blocks. 1. This simplified block representation shows the ...

Dhananjay Gadre] happened across a useful little trick the other day. Take any old 1N4148 or 1N914 glass-package signal diode ...

Bourns has introduced high power protection diodes for use in AC and DC power line applications. The Transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes are designed into a surface mount package which Bourns ...
