Here is the simple diode circuit and the I-V characteristic curve of a diode. The circuit shows a diode connected in series with a resistor and a DC voltage source. The I-V characteristic curve ...

This Design Idea describes a two-transistorthermal probe for diagnosingcircuit problems, such as hotcomponents and thermal runaway.Although the probe does not provide anaccurate temperature ...

Abstract: A simple lumped component diode model is presented including a representation of conductivity modulation, in addition to the usual characterization by diffusion capacitance, transition ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

Abstract: A simple low-current consumption analog predistortion circuit is designed to enhance linearity. The circuit is experimentally verified in a radio-over-fiber (RoF) systems. A Schottky diode ...

The simple Diode and LED Tester presented here costs under £5 to build (including all components, the battery and a cheap case) and will indicate the polarity of almost all types of LED and other ...

As the number of Power Over Ethernet (PoE) powered device (PD) applications grows, market pressures are driving designers to lower the cost and complexity of the DC-DC converters that power them, ...
