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 ...

Discover the science behind diodes — the tiny components that control the flow of electricity. Learn how they let current pass in one direction, block it in the other, and power everything from phone ...

Nearly four decades ago (in his Designs for High Performance Voltage-to-Frequency Converters), famed designer Jim Williams cataloged five fundamental techniques for voltage to frequency conversion.
