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 ...

Key components in modern technology, laser diodes enable innovations in telecommunications, medical devices, and quantum ...

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 ...

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 ...

This ubiquitous diode is an essential component with a simple basic function: It blocks the flow of current in one direction (reverse bias) but allows it in the opposite direction (forward bias).

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 ...
