We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop?

This circuit is effective for low-power laser diodes but may not be so for diodes with power dissipation greater than 150 mA. The maximum cutoff current of the JFET sets this limit. If it becomes ...

Chapters 1 and 2: Diode circuits and models - Half and full-wave rectifiers, clamps, logic. Chapters 3 and 4: BJT configurations, models and amplifiers – will discuss dc and ac models for BJT ...

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 ...

Their atom-optical analogy to electronic circuits begins with the definition of the `atomtronic battery’, which is composed of two reservoirs of ultracold atoms having different chemical potentials ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

[Hales] has been on a mission for a while to make his own diodes and put them to use and now he’s succeeded with diodes made of sodium bicarbonate and water, aluminum tape and soldered copper. By ...

Most plastics don't conduct electricity, though that hasn't stopped researchers from trying to build plastic computer chips.
