ATS is a piece of hardware that automatically shifts the electrical load from primary power supply to a backup or standby ...

Chaos can cause electromagnetic interference to nonlinear circuits. One typical circuit studied on the chaos in nonlinear circuits is the driven Resistor-Inductor-Diode (RLD) series circuit. This type ...

This article delves into the technical details of a PIN avalanche photodiode (APD) and a PIN photodiode to properly understand where they fit into their optical designs.

Spread the loveDiodes are essential components in electronic circuits, allowing current to flow in one direction while blocking it from moving in the opposite direction. Identifying simple diodes may ...

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 ...

Building simple circuits with copper tape, LED bulbs, resistors, and watch batteries is not as simple as you might think. Notre Dame Elementary School STEM students are putting the engineering desi… ...

Download this article in PDF format. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years later, a new PIN diode concept—shielded-anode PIN diode (SAPIN)—has ...
