This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

Abstract: The Esaki diode is a potentially low-cost, high-speed two-terminal device exhibiting a short-circuit-stable negative resistance over a portion of its volt-ampere characteristic. By proper ...

External TVS diodes can be used to supplement the internal clamping diodes of ICs. Surge ability of silicon TVS diodes are related to size. External TVS diodes can be 10x larger than internal clamping ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

Reducing power dissipation from diodes is essential in all situations where high currents flow at relatively low voltages (e.g., when solar panels or lithium-ion batteries are connected in parallel).

Abstract: Intrinsically random hardware devices are increasingly attracting attention for their potential use in probabilistic computing architectures. One such device is the single-photon avalanche ...

[Hales] has been on a mission for a while to make his own diodes and put them to use and now he’s succeeded with diodes made of sodium bicarbonate and water, aluminum tape and soldered copper. By ...

Atomtronics has the goal of developing a one-to-one analogy of electronic systems, components and devices with ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices It is being researched at the University of ...
