As active devices go, it doesn’t get much simpler than a diode. Two terminals. Current flows in one direction and not in the other. Simple, right? Well, then there are examples with useful side ...

The secret sauce is in component selection and tuning. Opengeiger uses the BPW34 diode because it is relatively common and has a large surface area, but also because it has a very low capacitance ...

The report is limited to equity securities, including common and equivalents, convertible preferred and convertible bonds. The report does not include fixed income, real estate, or cash equivalents.

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley ...

The diode is made up of a semiconductor device with P-type material and N-type material. Common applications include turning alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), isolating signals from a ...

The filament lamp is a common type of light bulb ... filament lamp is not directly proportional to the voltage across it. Diodes are electronic components that can be used to regulate the voltage ...
