The study of Schottky barrier (SB) MOSFETs with metallic source and drain contacts is expanding as a result of recent developments in the semiconductor industry. Instead of the usual impurity-doped ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

[Afroman] is back again with another great tutorial video on the basics of electronics. This time it’s zener diodes. Page three or four of every ‘beginners guide to electronics’ covers a diode as, “a ...

This application note discusses the factors that affect dynamic voltage sharing of series connected diodes and explains why co-packaged devices typically see little difference in the instantaneous ...

A chance conversation about solar panels set Microsemi chip designer Shawn Fahrenbruch on a voyage of discovery, resulting in an active diode with a forward drop of only 50mV. It has only two ...
