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, ...

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 ...

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.
