This video explains what a diode is and how it controls the direction of current in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

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 ...

This application note describes the diode selection process and snubber design for high voltage inverting flyback converter for subscriber-line interface card (SLIC) applications. Critical diode ...

[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 ...

Snubbers play an important role in switch-mode power supplies. To understand use of the snubber, we have to look at the performance of a switch-mode power supply. Fig. 1. RCD and R2CD snubbers for ON ...

Transistors are the fundamental building blocks behind today's electronic revolution, powering everything from smartphones to powerful servers by controlling the flow of electrical currents. But ...

The same molecule that provides the instructions for building life may one day be used to build computers. Using copper and a common ingredient of shampoo, scientists were able to turn DNA into a sort ...
