Thus an AC voltage applied to C1 will appear at both the anode and cathode of the diode, and will make it through C2 to the output. The switch has been turned ON.

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

The triangle represents the anode, and the line represents the cathode. Forward-biased diode: an ideal diode conducts electricity when a voltage of 0.6V is applied in the forward direction.

Santa Clara, Calif.—Qspeed Semiconductor has announced the full production release of its first common cathode product in an industry standard TO-220 package. The LQA20T300C consists of two 10-amp, ...

New dual-configuration Schottky silicon-carbide (SiC) diodes from STMicroelectronics are the first such devices in the industry with a voltage rating of 650V per diode in a choice of common-cathode or ...

We proved that the diode motility results from a local electro-osmotic flux powered by the external field. The specific direction of motion with regards to the diode cathode and anode indicates ...

Standard silicon diodes have a forward voltage drop of about 0.6 V and germanium diodes 0.3 V. Fig. 2 shows the I-V relationship of a typical SiC Schottky diode.
