Download this article in PDF format. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years later, a new PIN diode concept—shielded-anode PIN diode (SAPIN)—has ...

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 ...

The LXA08T600C is a part of Power Integrations’ Qspeed™ family with a peak reverse voltage of 600 V and an average forward current of 8 A. The device is a X-series common-cathode diode that has the ...

Robust systems often have several different power sources, and switches are implemented to separate the power supplies from each other to avoid damage. In most cases, multiple diodes are placed in the ...
