Thermal diodes, much like their electrical counterparts, provide unidirectional heat transfer, allowing heat to flow in one ...

Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained. Power diodes, power MOSFETs, and IGBTs are explained, along with the origins of ...

The RCA tunnel diode inverter circuit The resulting circuit produces a 15kHz oscillation with 4.5v peaks, and has just enough power to light an LED. While it might seem pointless to barely light ...

preventing current flow. But if you reverse polarity, that oxide layer breaks down and current flows. To [Hales] this sounded like it could also act as a diode and so he went to work doing plenty ...

The diode has a very high resistance in one direction. This means that current can only flow in the other direction. This is the graph of current against voltage for a diode. Normally a diode will ...

It is the second course in the "Semiconductor Power Device" specialization that focusses on diodes, MOSFETs, and IGBTs but also covers legacy devices (BJTs, Thyristors and TRIACS) as well as ...

He's offering a direct-diode source, based on GaN, which emits at 375 nm. Because it is pumped electrically rather than optically, it is more efficient. But its power level is low, and it is only ...
