Thus an AC voltage applied to C1 will appear at both the anode and cathode of the diode, and will make it through C2 to the output. The switch has been turned ON.

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has introduced a new series of advanced silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes aimed at boosting efficiency in high-speed, hard-switching power systems. The ...

Data diodes are a humble-looking piece of tech, but they are much more important than their appearance might convey. Slowly but surely, they’re becoming an indispensable part of high-security networks ...

Santa Clara, Calif. Qspeed Semiconductor has announced the full production release of its first common cathode product in an industry standard TO-220 package. The LQA20T300C consists of two 10-amp, ...

We proved that the diode motility results from a local electro-osmotic flux powered by the external field. The specific direction of motion with regards to the diode cathode and anode indicates ...

Have you ever wondered how a tiny LED light can produce such brilliant illumination with almost no heat and very little energy? In this video, we dive deep into the fascinating world of Light Emitting ...

New dual-configuration Schottky silicon-carbide (SiC) diodes from STMicroelectronics are the first such devices in the industry with a voltage rating of 650V per diode in a choice of common-cathode or ...

In his diode ROM, bits are ‘programmed’ by adding (or not) a diode between a given data line (anode) and an address line (cathode).

Forward-biased diode: an ideal diode conducts electricity when a voltage of 0.6V is applied in the forward direction. This means current flows from the anode (positive) to the cathode (negative).

One of the oldest and one of the newest semiconductors, Schottky diode use can be traced back to before 1900 where crystal detectors were all effectively Schottky diodes. Today, the new silicon ...
