Andreessen Horowitz leads a Series A investment in Diode Computers, which translates printed circuit board layouts into code.

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.

R 1 ‘s voltage drop limits the zener diode’s voltage value that the circuit measures. If R 1 ‘s value is 1Ω, then the voltage drop across it is insignificant and, in millivolts, is equal to the zener ...

Reverse leakage testing Reverse leakage may be measured only after removing the component from the circuit board because shunt resistances abound in almost all circuits. Good silicon rectifiers and ...

The circuit shows a diode connected in series with a resistor and a DC voltage source. The I-V characteristic curve displays the exponential rise of current when the diode is forward-biased and almost ...

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 ...

It has one TVS diode for the power bus. This device meets or exceeds various IEC standards: 61000-4-2 (ESD): air 15kV, contact 8kV; 61000-4-4 for electrical fast transients (EFT): 40A, 5/50ns; and ...

The Esaki diode is a potentially low-cost, high-speed, two-terminal device exhibiting a short-circuit stable, negative resistance over a portion of its volt - ampere characteristic. Under suitable ...

A multimodel scheme is designed for a tunnel-diode circuit with the aim of improving the transient response in a transition or switching from a system equilibrium point to another one. Each model of ...
