Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes might just be the technology that allows electronics achieve the next big leap in processing speed. Research into diode design conducted at the Oregon State ...

One of the most common parts and one of the earliest electronic devices is known to be a power diode. Its purpose is to limit the electric current’s ability to flow in one direction while obstructing ...

The polarity markings on LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) seem to be a common cause of confusion. The polarity may be indicated by a flat section on one side of the body or by one lead being shorter than ...

As electronic devices become ever more complex, and the densities of components in those devices increases exponentially, we are rapidly approaching the day when the limitations of Moore's Law will be ...

Read the article to find out how commonly lasers are used in different applications. Laser technology is commonly used in a wide range of industrial and medical equipment, but also in devices found in ...

The electronic diode is a device that allows current to travel in one direction but not the other. That makes them handy things to have around. So handy, in fact, that you’d be hard pressed to find an ...

Engineers have designed a new diode that transmits more electricity than any other device of its kind, and the inspiration for it came from technology that is 40 years old. COLUMBUS, Ohio – Engineers ...

Called DZDH0401DW, it is designed to work with a p-channel mosfet in the high-side rail in systems up to 40V. It might better be described as a ‘nearly ideal diode controller’ as it draws some current ...

Probably the busiest company in terms of introducing rectifiers/diodes in 2011 was Vishay Intertechnology. Starting in January, the company introduced several types of Trench MOS Barrier Schottky ...

Diodes Inc. has expanded its automotive-compliant LED driver portfolio, adding the AL8891Q synchronous buck LED driver with high-side current sense that drives up to 2 A from a wide 4.5-V to 65-V ...
