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

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 ...

[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 ...

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 ...

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

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 ...

ProTek Devices introduced a new ultra-low capacitance steering diode / transient voltage suppressor array (TVS array) designed to deliver circuit protection in Gigabit Ethernet applications, ...

Most plastics don't conduct electricity, though that hasn't stopped researchers from trying to build plastic computer chips. Some groups have coaxed modest numbers of electrons through plastics using ...
