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.

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 ...

The new technology is expected that the newly-developed nanowire backward diode will be applied in ... as means for creating sensor networks that function without batteries. One such example ...

This Design Idea presents anunusual method of performing theexclusive functions with two resistors,four diodes, and one transistor.The NPN configuration results inthe XNOR operation, and the ...

One of the most exciting device functions, the diode (or rectification) behaviour was first envisioned by Aviram and Ratner 1. The Aviram–Ratner molecular diode consists of a donor and an ...

He also derives a second, natural exponent step function from the Schockley diode equation that is less computationally demanding. To implement these models, [Sebastian] chose an Arduino GIGA R1 ...

And nobody can beat our new 10-diode models for value.”Like all Smart Lamps™, the new 10-diode models feature a triple-flash strobe function that can be manually activated or configured for automatic ...

Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero at ...
