This application note discusses the factors that affect dynamic voltage sharing of series connected diodes and explains why co-packaged devices typically see little difference in the instantaneous ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...

This application note presents the real Schottky diodes as the best choice for lowest forward voltage drop. This document describes the low, medium and high voltage level applications, as well as ...

Described by its maker as the world's first of its kind, the LASORB component is described as an electrostatic-discharge (ESD) absorber that protects laser diodes, photodiodes and LEDs from single, ...

The function of an LED is to emit light when the device is forward biased within its operating range, and it’s known by most ...

What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).

This video explains how LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) function and why they are widely used in modern lighting and electronic displays. LEDs convert electrical energy into light through the movement of ...

A semiconductor diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction, acting like a one-way valve for electricity. It is commonly used for voltage regulation, converting ...
