A diode is a semiconductor device that exhibits a nonlinear current-voltage relationship. In simpler terms, it allows current to flow more easily in one direction (forward bias) than the other ...

In any electronic circuit, the energy stored in an inductor must be properly channeled in the event of switching. This FAQ explains how a freewheeling diode can help achieve smooth inductor ...

When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

A thermal diode is a two-terminal nonlinear device that rectifies energy carriers (for example, photons, phonons and electrons) in the thermal domain, the heat transfer analogue to the familiar ...

I am currently overclocking my Mobile Barton 2500+, and while doing so, I have noticed something called CPU Diode temperature. What is this compared to the CPU Socket temperature? I ask this because ...

I talked with Dr. Sebastian Bauer, CEO at Ubicept, about the company’s flexible light acquisition and representation engine ...
