Navitas Semiconductor, developer of GaNFast GaN and GeneSiC SiC power semiconductors, has been awarded the ‘Outstanding ...

Tunnel diodes, in their negative resistance region, can act like an amplifier with a gain greater than 1. When a small AC signal is applied to a tunnel diode biased in its negative resistance region, ...

In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...

Reverse bias (negative voltage at N-type, positive at P-type) increases the barrier, blocking current. This keeps the diode non-conductive during the negative AC half. This process rectifies the AC ...

Three Primary Functions of a Diode When considering what is a diode, it's important to recognise its three primary functions: rectification, regulation, and signal demodulation. Each of these ...
