A conventional low-voltage silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum reverse voltage, for example with the 1N4001 rectifier it’s 50V.

Use the button to activate the distortion and choose from three modes - Clamp, Fold and Zero. You also have distortion drive ...

Mystery of the printed diode solved Date: July 7, 2014 Source: Linköping Universitet Summary: A thirteen-year-long mystery that has involved a long series of researchers has finally been solved.

In this Design Idea, an old technique of diode-based 16-to-4 encoding is combined with a new design, to scan a record number of buttons – 74 – with only four I/O pins!. The diode encoder: Background.

The diode sampler is the electronic equivalent of a stroboscope, capturing parts of multiple cycle of a waveform to give a much-slowed-down representation of it on the screen.

A group of researchers developed a highly sensitive rectifying element in the form of a nanowire backward diode, which can covert low-power microwaves into electricity. The new technology is ...

Andersen described some recent examples of the real-world applications of diode lasers in OCT. “The superluminescent laser diodes have really been the key component in OCT, where several of the ...

Tamburini, Diego, Shimada, Chika Mori, and McCarthy, Blythe. 2021. "The molecular characterization of early synthetic dyes in E. Knecht et al & rsquo;s textile sample book & ldquo;A Manual of Dyeing & ...

A thermal diode is a two-terminal nonlinear device that rectifies energy carriers (for example, photons, phonons and electrons) in the thermal domain, the heat transfer analogue to the familiar ...

For standard MOSFETs, a 15V zener diode will suffice since the usual maximum Vgs is ~20V. Figure 2 Example of bridge rectifier approach using MOSFETs. Here is how the circuit works: When V1 goes ...
