Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

The 74HC3G14 and 74HCT3G14 are triple inverters with clamp diodes at the inputs. These devices are designed for astable multivibrators, monostable multivibrators, and pulse shapers for highly noisy ...

Vishay has released two bi-directional symmetrical (BiSy) ESD protection diodes for 3.3V working in portable electronics – they come in a 0.6 x 0.3 x 0.27mm package. Maximum leakage is <0.1μA at 3.3V, ...

DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION contributed article, which begins on Page 2. Why should you ac-couple your video signals? In many cases, it's because the application has a ...

[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 ...
