This application note discusses the factors that affect dynamic voltage sharing of series connected diodes and explains why co-packaged devices typically see little difference in the instantaneous ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...

There are 8 different types of diodes that are available for use in electronics design. The various types of diodes enable different kinds of application specifications to be met. As a result of the ...

Varactor (or “varicap”) diodes are used primarily in radio-frequency (RF) circuits to provide a capacitance that can be varied by changing the applied voltage. These types of diodes often are used for ...

Back gating, body bias, substrate bias, and back bias all refer to a technique for dynamically adjusting the threshold voltage of a CMOS transistor. CMOS transistors are often thought of as ...

Engineers from North Carolina State University, Adroit Materials and Poland’s Institute of High-Pressure Physics have reduced ...

Nexperia has put an ideal diode, including its p-channel mosfet, and reverse polarity protection, in a 2.1 x 1.25 x 0.95mm TSSOP6 package. Called NID5100, it is aimed at industrial and consumer ...

The interface at which p-type silicon and n-type silicon make contact with each other. At this coupling point, free electrons (n-type) and holes (p-type) cancel each other and form a "depletion zone" ...
