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.

Line frequency, short circuit current pulses can really make for some severe EMI and ripple troubles. Consider, for example, a crude estimate where a pretty slow diode, the 1N4007, has a nominal ...

With a bias servo circuit, the drain to source resistance is always set correctly regardless of which matched FETs are used. For example, if you set the bias servo circuit to provide a 10KΩ ...

4. Comparison of intrinsic diode reverse-recovery characteristics. The UJC1210K has the lowest Q RR.. SiC Cascodes in Practice. The near-ideal parameters, combined with small die size, of SiC ...

Researchers have invented a new organic polymer tunnel diode -- an electronic component that could one day lead to plastic computer memory and plastic logic circuits on computer chips. Today ...
