Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

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

In the circuit shown above, Vs is a 10-V square wave period 4ms, R=100Ω, and C=20µF. Sketch Vc for the first two cycles of Vs if the capacitor is initially uncharged and the diode is ideal. Source: ...

[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 ...

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

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 ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...
