Diodes are essential semiconductor devices used to control the direction of electrical current in circuits. This tutorial explains how diodes work, their different types, and why they are critical ...

Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero at ...

The precision half-wave rectifier circuit uses an inverting amplifier configuration. When the input signal Vin is positive, Op-Amp output terminal is negative, Diode D1 is reverse biased and D2 Diode ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

Innovations such as quantum thermal diodes, capable of directing heat flow ... and design of quantum thermal circuits, this model opens the door to transformative advancements in thermotronic ...

The circuit was compared to a popular KBU8B silicon diode rectifier. At an input voltage of 5 V rms at 50 Hz and a constant load of 5 A dc, the KBU8B’s output was 4.45 V dc, average, measured ...

In the simple ‘precision rectifier diode’ case, this situation is generally solved using the ‘improved precision rectifier’ (google if need be) circuit, but that would definitely need a negative rail ...
