A simplified diode switch in the reverse biased Off position. To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground ...

The diode bias current is created by a transistor-based peak detector circuit driven off the main audio signal. But don’t just take our word for it, watch the video after the break.

LC-tank circuit portion. Varactor (or “varicap”) diodes are used primarily in radio-frequency (RF) circuits to provide a capacitance that can be varied by changing the applied voltage.

This circuit enables effective power delivery for DC-biased superconducting logic and quantum circuits, supporting miniaturization, reduced power consumption, and lower electromagnetic noise in ...

An uncomplicated circuit application of a ZD is the common shunt voltage regulator. If you have a Zener diode (ZD) of unknown characteristics or if you want to use reverse-biased transistor junctions ...

Bias circuits for class AB buffers don't have to ruin your total harmonic distortion spec. ... it is omitted in a practical circuit and diodes D1-D4 can be substituted with one red LED.

But these fragile gates must be protected from ESD and EOS with additional circuitry that is the primary source of their input bias current. This protection generally includes internal clamp diodes to ...
