Andreessen Horowitz leads a Series A investment in Diode Computers, which translates printed circuit board layouts into code.

By combining 49 of them he’s put together a soda bicarb diode steering circuit for a 7-segment display capable of showing the digits 0 to 9.

To get a better feel of the diode bridge, I prepared the test setup shown in Figure 3. 3. Diode bridge test schematic for Case 1. The inductors provide dc isolation, with a coupling coefficient of 1.

This digital thermometer circuit diagram uses a common 1N4148 diode as the temperature sensor. The temperature coefficient of the diode, -2 mV/°C is exploited for this application to create an ...

The circuit is simple enough: it uses a capacitor, a resistor, and a pair of diodes (one of them a zener diode). He uses this basic circuit to drive simple regulators with input and output filter ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

I laser = (5V – V laser) / (R1 + R ds-sat) where R ds-sat = 25 mΩ and V laser = 2.0 V Values for both R ds-sat and V laser were taken from the datasheets of Q1 and the laser diode, respectively ...
