A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

The lowly diode, a device with only two leads, can nonetheless do many things. Diodes can detect, rectify, suppress, emit light, detect light, change capacitance, emit microwaves and more. This wide ...

For the given circuit graph the transfer function Vo(Vs). Assume forward biased voltage drop for the diode is 0.7V. The voltage will not allow the diode to conduct until the source voltage is at least ...

The most basic diagrams depicting non-isolated DC-DC converters generally show two ideal switches and an energy storage inductor. In early designs, it was quickly realized that one switch could be ...

Infineon Technologies AG recently launched a 6.5 kV power module that features IGBT and freewheeling diode functionality integrated into a single chip. Infineon Technologies AG recently launched a 6.5 ...

Limiters are necessary in situations in which a transmitter delivers signals of peak power on the order of kilowatts or megawatts to an antenna that also connects to the receiver. Receivers, however, ...
