They have none of the special skills you’d find in tunnel, Gunn, varicap, Zener, and avalanche diodes, or even LEDs, instead they are simply a one-way valve for electrical current. Connect ...

Several techniques exist, but [Wolfgang] over at the Electronic Projects for Fun blog decided to go for the classic method of using a vacuum diode. He describes the design and analysis of a noise ...

The four-layer diode, therefore, could be used to replace both the rectifiers and transistors necessary to connect long distance phone calls. In essence, the four-layer diode was the first ...

A semiconductor diode is an electronic component that allows ... Reverse bias: in reverse bias, the anode is connected to the negative side, and the cathode to the positive side, preventing ...

Medium-voltage CoolGaN G5 transistors from Infineon include a built-in Schottky diode to minimize dead-time losses.

Infineon Technologies AG has introduced the world’s first gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors with integrated Schottky ...

For hard-switched power topologies, Infineon is planning a 100V GaN transistors with a integrated Schottky diode. "Due to the ...

You will learn about semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, and the important rules for their analysis, planning, design, and implementation. You will also apply your knowledge through ...
