So now you know how diodes can be used as simple on-off switches. You can even make multi-way switches by connecting single diode switches in parallel to a single bias point. But that’s not ...

Infineon is shipping the CoolSiC Schottky diode 2000 V G5 product family – its first discrete SiC diode with a breakdown voltage of 2000V – in a TO-247-2 package. The product family fits applications ...

and a diode -- all in a single crystal. Unfortunately, they were so tricky to make that Shockley's company, Shockley Semiconductor, never managed to build any that were truly commercially viable.

Photonics Products claims this performance represents the highest power available in a single-mode laser diode with an internal monitor photodiode. This internal monitor photodiode, which can be ...

It’s easy enough to plop in a diode for protection, but as [Afroman] points out, that wastes power in the form of heat when the circuit is working correctly. His solution is to add a P channel ...
