Left panel, superconducting rectifier circuit used to convert AC currents into DC using four superconducting diodes (blue) connected by superconducting interconnects and one smoothing capacitor (C ...

Silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), also called thyristors, are semiconductor power devices with a four-layer three-way junction framework (PNPN). Because its intro in the 1950s, SCRs have been ...

Fend’s data diodes use optical isolation to transmit data unidirectionally to prevent inbound cyberattacks and ransomware from reaching protected networks.

A new technical paper titled “Electrically Controlled All-Antiferromagnetic Tunnel Junctions on Silicon with Large Room-Temperature Magnetoresistance” was published by researchers at Northwestern ...

Abstract: In this letter, a modified low-voltage triggered silicon-controlled rectifier (LVTSCR) is proposed and fabricated for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in a 0.18- μm 1.8-V CMOS ...

AI models make stuff up. How can hallucinations be controlled? It is hard to do so without also limiting models’ power ...

By inserting diode-connected transistors into the trigger circuit and slightly enlarging the SCR path length, the holding voltage can be adjusted to a safe level. Experimental results indicate that ...

2. Topologies under Evaluation The main industrial load is the induction machine, usually controlled by a motor drive, fed by a DC bus. The DC bus is formed by rectifying the grid voltage, normally ...
