The triangle represents the anode, and the line represents the cathode. Forward-biased diode: an ideal diode conducts electricity when a voltage of 0.6V is applied in the forward direction.

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 ...

Laser driver IC-WKM is the most recent addition to IC-Haus's IC-WK series featuring a current capacity up to 350 mA and a supply voltage range up to 15 V. Optimized for M-type laser diodes (common ...

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). When pulling low a given address line, ...

So, while a real diode will only pass current in one direction, it will also drop some of the voltage. [Julian] shows you how you can get simulated ideal diodes and why you might want them in a ...

Standard silicon diodes have a forward voltage drop of about 0.6 V and germanium diodes 0.3 V. Fig. 2 shows the I-V relationship of a typical SiC Schottky diode.
