In DC voltage applications, the RC snubber network is typically wired across the relay contacts, whereas in standard AC ...

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 ...

Using a pair of Zener diodes connected in series and in opposition, it is possible to construct a circuit in which the output signal is approximately a square wave. Let’s start inverting the polarity ...

The power diode is one of the most used components and one of the first devices to be discovered in electronics. Its functionality is to make the electric current pass only in one direction, ...

Our careful analysis of the current proposed diode-inductor series circuit produces an unexpected curious output. The negative resistance of the tunnel diode causes multivalued voltages and currents ...

A new switching circuit analysis technique is proposed in which the reverse recovery and junction capacitance non-idealities of diode-based switches are incorporated into a state plane analysis of the ...
