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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

[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 ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...

A semiconductor diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction, acting like a one-way valve for electricity. It is commonly used for voltage regulation, converting ...
