To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground through R1 and the cathode tied to the Vcc power rail.

Note If the zener diode is connected in reverse polarity (red clip to the anode and black clip to the cathode), the LED glows brightly at all settings of the knob above the zero reading, indicating ...

Abstract: Cathode current is a key measure of the rated power of the diode and is closely related to the cathode structure. Compared with $\Pi$ cathode and helical cathode, the mesh cathode has been ...

The Ideal Diode To reduce this power dissipation, Linear Technology has developed ideal diode controller devices such as the LTC4357. This controller has an input pin (anode), an output pin (cathode), ...

Forward-biased diode: an ideal diode conducts electricity when a voltage of 0.6V is applied in the forward direction. This means current flows from the anode (positive) to the cathode (negative).

Automotive-qualified 200 V Qspeed diodes from Power Integrations excel in audio amplifiers with low-noise and high-efficiency.

Compared with $\Pi $ cathode and helical cathode, the mesh cathode has been more widely used in high-power tetrode, because of its structural advantage. So far, the relationship between the space ...
