Designing astable circuits using the industry-standard 555 timer is a straightforward ... Figure 2 The simple addition of a bypass diode makes this timer circuit valid for low duty cycles. Diode ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

By enabling clearer visualization, simulation, and design of quantum thermal circuits, this model opens the door to transformative advancements in thermotronic technologies with applications in ...

An HT7533 is used for voltage regulation with a Schottky diode preventing return current to the solar cell, and a DW01 circuit is used to make sure that the capacitor doesn’t overcharge.

Tunnel diodes, so named because they transmit electricity ... portable electronics that combine silicon and plastic. The plastic circuits would let devices such as smart cards bend slightly ...

SPICE can serve as a valuable tool to validate and optimize the performance of surge-protection circuits using transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) avalanche diodes. The small size, fast response ...
