We didn’t think we needed a basic guide to diodes until we saw it was from [W2AEW], and then we knew we’d pick up some new things. Entitled “Diodes from Ideal to Real” the 18-minute video doesn’t ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

I'm reading "Electronics for Dummies" and I'm still a bit confused on voltage, watts, etc. Either the book doesn't do a good job of explaining the basics, or I am truely an idiot. Regardless, what are ...

Basic power diodes consist of a diode built into a chip. Power diode arrays are composed of multiple, discrete, and usually unconnected devices on a single silicon chip. PIN count and number of ...

Transport phenomena in semiconductors, theory of the p-n junction, bipolar and unipolar devices, general analysis of the metal-semiconductor and MIS structures, CCD, MOSFET and bipolar transistors.

Although they are a simple device, diodes do have a number of traits to consider. These traits are often application dependent. Some applications include: rectifiers, signal ORing, transistor turn off ...

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 ...
