What Does a Diode Actually Do?

A diode is a tiny component with a powerful job—controlling the direction of electrical current. This video explains how diodes allow electricity to flow one way, block it the other, and protect ...
A single-molecule diode with the highest on–off current (or rectification) ratio to date has been unveiled by a team of physicists and chemists in the US. While single-molecule diodes have been made ...
Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Silicon Schottky diodes are used in power applications because of their low forward voltage drop, which allows lower ...
These single-stage instrumentation amplifiers accurately measure very small sense voltages across a wide range of common-mode voltages up to 26V while operating from a 2.7V to 5.5V supply. Automotive ...
IXYS Corporation introduced the PCO-7114, a compact and economical pulsed-current OEM laser diode driver module that provides up to 50 Ampere current at a fixed pulse width of ≤4 nanoseconds. It is ...
