Left panel, superconducting rectifier circuit used to convert AC currents into DC using four superconducting diodes (blue) connected by superconducting interconnects and one smoothing capacitor (C ...

The plan is to build an AC to DC Flyback power supply, 12V-3A output. The output Schottky diode must be at least 8A to 10A, 100V rated (dependent on the reflected voltage, VOR). The selection could be ...

PIN diodes have shot current of I shot = √2qI D B; APDs have shot current of I shot = √2q (I ph + I B + I D)G 2 FB. PIN diodes have less sensitivity, while APDs possess higher sensitivity to ...

Can you use a diode to switch a signal even if it has only two terminals? Of course you can, and it’s a tried and trusted technique very common in test equipment and circuits that handle RF signals.

Later, in the mid-20th century, the invention of the semiconductor diode by Russell Ohl marked a significant shift from vacuum tube technology, paving the way for the miniaturisation of electronic ...

1.7µm and 2.6µm linear InGaAs PIN diodes As alternatives to through-hole TO-39 or TO-18 packaged PIN diodes, Marktech Optoelectronics has announced hermetic surface-mount InGaAs PIN diodes sensitive ...

In this work, a first GaAs PIN diode for 900 V operation is fabricated and characterized. The temperature-dependent reverse breakdown behavior is investigated with the help of TCAD simulations and ...
