When you need a multimeter for testing electrical equipment around the home, it's vital to know what all those symbols around ...

This brief offers a fresh insight into the behavior of PIN diodes over temperature. A simple but accurate biasing and control circuit for attenuators and other PIN diode applications is described. The ...

Comprehensive analysis of small-signal equivalent circuit models for GaAs-based PIN diodes is performed in this article. The analysis provides the equivalent circuit models for PIN diode operation in ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

The trick is that diodes block current in one direction but allow it to flow in the other, denoted by the deliberately obvious symbol. So your DC signals can’t swim upstream, but the same isn ...

1.7µm and 2.6µm linear InGaAs PIN diodes As alternatives to through-hole TO-39 or TO-18 packaged PIN diodes, Marktech Optoelectronics has announced hermetic surface-mount InGaAs PIN diodes sensitive ...

A crystal radio needs no battery or power and works on the microvolts of radio signals received from its antenna. It works non-stop (24×7) as long as the transmission is on air. The construction of ...

Teledyne e2v HiRel today announced two new additions to its family of high power limiters, the TDLM052402, a quasi-active, 2 kW, L/S/C-band SMT PIN Di ...

MOSFET Gate Drive and Protection Circuit The gate of a MOSFET is very sensitive since the oxide layer insulating the gate from the channel is very thin. Most power MOSFETs have a rated gate-source ...
