I–V characteristics of Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) in low forward bias and reverse bias voltages are critical in low-power and high-speed SBD-based circuits. Accurate modeling of I–V in these ...

In DC voltage applications, the RC snubber network is typically wired across the relay contacts, whereas in standard AC ...

This paper highlights significant advancements in the creation and enhancement of equivalent circuit models for solar cells. First, two novel configurations are proposed to enhance the classic ...

The non-discharge RCD snubber circuit (d) provides a criss-cross connection of the resistor-diode combination, which leads to lower power dissipation. This is because the configuration only discharges ...

Turn broken electronics into hands-on lessons. Master soldering while embracing the DIY mindset of learning by doing.

Real-Life Applications of Zener Diodes The real-life applications of Zener diodes are extensive and varied. From voltage shifting in signal conversion processes to providing a stable voltage reference ...

The paper considers the response to the accumulated energy in the resistor (R)-capacitor (C) circuit. In the (RC) circuit, the capacitor C is initially charged with the “capacitive” voltage U 0 . At ...

Hackaday Editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi meet up virtually to talk about the week’s top stories and hacks, such as the fine art of resistor trimming and lessons learned from doing overs… ...

Get back to the basics of resistors with an understanding of how resistors work, the different types of resistor circuit connections, and their suitability for different application requirements.
