A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

Great efforts have been made to improve power switches – MOSFETs and IGBTs – to decrease forward voltage drop and as well as to decrease turn-off energy. In switching inductive loads, the turn-on ...

PIN diodes are widely used as antenna switches and as switches in phase-shifter applications for phased arrays, radar, and broadband instrumentation. Silicon beam lead devices dominate the market. Now ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...
