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? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...
Demonstrating a Schottky diode in an AC and DC circuit. It should be noted that this isn’t a common way to use these devices, this was mostly to show the proportion of a 1 volt signal that the ...

By combining 49 of them he’s put together a soda bicarb diode steering circuit for a 7-segment display capable of showing the digits 0 to 9.
I laser = (5V – V laser) / (R1 + R ds-sat) where R ds-sat = 25 mΩ and V laser = 2.0 V Values for both R ds-sat and V laser were taken from the datasheets of Q1 and the laser diode, respectively ...
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 ...
Littelfuse, Inc. has introduced the SLVU2.8-8 Series 2.8V, 30A TVS Diode Array (SPA Diodes), designed to protect low voltage CMOS devices from damage caused by ESD and lightning-induced transients.
