Were you to bias an n-channel JFET as you would a bipolar transistor with a positive bias on its gate, the diode between gate and source would conduct, and the transistor would remain a diode with ...

3. The TI LM4040 2.5-V voltage-reference curve shows its high voltage accuracy even when biased well below 100 µA. Using the same 12-V example as above, but with 75 µA for I z instead of 5 mA ...

The diode transmits terahertz waves when biased with a positive voltage while attenuates the wave under a low negative voltage, which can be seen as an analogue of an electronic semiconductor diode.

The test setup was easy: Drive the diode-under-test (DUT) with a 5V pulse – DC offset set mostly negative to bias the diode on only during positive peaks. Scope both sides of the DUT and trigger on ...

Diodes, one-way current conductors, are used for voltage regulation, AC/DC conversion, and circuit protection. Forward-biased at 0.6V, conduct current, reverse bias blocks it.

When transistor Q2 is turned on, a positive V in potential is applied to the non-dot end of the N2 winding. During the time Q2 is conducting, diode D2 will be forward biased and provide power to ...

In the circuit, the amplifier with the most positive output controls the negative feedback path via the forward biased diode in the amplifier output. It forms a simple unity gain path via R1 or R2, R3 ...
