In essence, the four-layer diode was the first integrated circuit since it did the work of two transistors, two resistors, and a diode -- all in a single crystal.

Atomtronic Circuits of Diodes and Transistors in Physic Review Letters From Physorg: Atomtronics probably won’t replace electronics. “Atoms are sluggish compared to electrons, and that means that you ...

Figure 1 This circuit protects low-power laser diodes but is not suitable for higher-power laser diodes. The circuit in Figure 2 avoids these deficiencies. It is similar to the standard JFET circuit ...

Diodes has introduced a new range of small signal bipolar transistors aimed at load and signal switching applications in a range of portable devices. The NPN and PNP bipolar transistors are available ...

Lifestyle Transistor Sister remakes vintage computer parts as circuit chic Originally published September 21, 2014 at 8:30 am Updated September 22, 2014 at 3:31 pm ...

If the transistor has an active partner to take over reverse-conduction, then reducing dead-time, when the transistor has to reverse-conduct, will help maintain efficiency, pointed out Infineon, and ...

If you have a Zener diode (ZD) of unknown characteristics or if you want to use reverse-biased transistor junctions as ZD, the zener voltage and performance can be tested with this simple circuit.
