This is a simple fire alarm circuit using Germanium Diode and 555 timer. In this circuit Germanium Diode plays very important role in detecting the fire.This is a simple fire alarm circuit using ...

The first part of our series to explain “ideal diodes” in the small-signal domain and to contrast them with those found in the power domain. The intent of this series is to illustrate the “ideal” ...

This application note describes the diode selection process and snubber design for high voltage inverting flyback converter for subscriber-line interface card (SLIC) applications. Critical diode ...

Basic power diodes consist of a diode built into a chip. Power diode arrays are composed of multiple, discrete, and usually unconnected devices on a single silicon chip. PIN count and number of ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

Here we introduce some of the most important high voltage diodes available. The most commonly specified type of high voltage diodes are PIN, Schottky, and Zener PIN Diodes PIN diodes are three-layer ...

Diode matrices were one of the first methods of implementing some sort of read only memory for the very first electronic computers, and even today they can be found buried deep in the IPs of ASICs and ...

Household LED bulbs usually stop illuminating because a single surface-mount diode in a series circuit burns out. Removing the plastic diffuser reveals the tiny black spot marking the failed diode.

The second part of our series to explain “ideal diodes” in the small-signal domain and to contrast them with those found in the power domain. The intent of this series is to illustrate the “ideal” ...
