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 ...

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 ...

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” ...

A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...
