Good design drives diode performance. 12 Jan 2004. If you plan to buy a laser diode driver, ... Starting at the front panel, if the current source controls are digital, as most are today, the digital ...

The diode model is based the single die version demonstrated by Piper [8] and the initial model parameters taken from published data of this PIN family[9]. The two package dependent parameters, ...

This Design Idea illustrates a way to make use of MOSFETs’ parasitic body diodes in a power circuit that can be used in UPS and energy-recovery (e.g., regenerative braking) designs. The circuit can ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical ...

The design reverse biases the base-emitter junction which results in a roughly 8V breakdown voltage. Essentially, this transistor is being used as a poor-quality Zener diode.

LC-tank circuit portion. Varactor (or “varicap”) diodes are used primarily in radio-frequency (RF) circuits to provide a capacitance that can be varied by changing the applied voltage.

A superconducting diode bridge composed of four superconducting diodes efficiently converts AC to DC at cryogenic temperatures, achieving rectification efficiencies up to 42% ± 5%.

Plastic diodes to shape future circuits Jan. 12, 2006 Most plastics don't conduct electricity, though that hasn't stopped researchers from trying to build plastic computer chips.
