PIN diodes, which sandwich a lightly doped intrinsic (I) region between heavily doped P and N regions, are used extensively in RF and microwave applications. Common applications of PIN diodes are ...

One problem with 3D-printed metal parts is that stresses due to the expansion of heated material and contraction of cold material can build up in parts while they are being printed, generating forces ...

[Dhananjay Gadre] happened across a useful little trick the other day. Take any old 1N4148 or 1N914 glass-package signal diode and wire it up right, and you’ve got yourself a nifty little IR detector.

In the first part of this series, we took a look at a “toy” negative-differential-resistance circuit made from two ordinary transistors. Although this circuit allows experimentation with ...

Developed by Power Integrations, the 600-V 12-A diodes feature reverse-recovery charge claimed to be the lowest in the industry. Generally speaking, silicon-carbide (SiC) technology provides superior ...

Justin Mamaradlo continues his exploration of the P2 with a look at the diode bridge, including a modified version, and the offset adjust blocks. 1. This simplified block representation shows the ...
