A simplified diode switch in the reverse biased Off position. To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground ...

The diode bias current is created by a transistor-based peak detector circuit driven off the main audio signal. But don’t just take our word for it, watch the video after the break.

You need a TVS diode because many voltage regulators do not have the ability to sink current, nor can they respond fast ...

including minority carrier injection under forward bias, c) The minority carrier charge and its effect on switching losses, and d) The construction of a p-n diode SPICE model including parasitic ...
