This application note describes the diode selection process and snubber design for high voltage inverting flyback converter for subscriber-line interface card (SLIC) applications. Critical diode ...

A diode is a tiny component that controls the flow of electricity by allowing current to pass in only one direction. This ...

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 ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for tasks like rectification, ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection in communications and other RF systems. However, ...

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, ...

[Afroman] is back again with another great tutorial video on the basics of electronics. This time it’s zener diodes. Page three or four of every ‘beginners guide to electronics’ covers a diode as, “a ...

[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 ...
