This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for tasks like rectification, ...

Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their reverse breakdown region, but Zener diodes are the exception to this rule. Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their ...

Diodes are one of the most important parts of any electronics project, and if you don't understand how they work you'll destroy any electronics project you work on. Thankfully, Adafruit has a video ...

And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...

A diode is a tiny component with a powerful job—controlling the direction of electrical current. This video explains how ...

The diode is one of the most commonly adopted and simply made elementary component in semiconductor technology. It’s been the basic starting brick for the construction of all electronic technology, ...

Some groups have coaxed modest numbers of electrons through plastics using quantum mechanical effects, but only by painstakingly manipulating individual molecules at cryogenic temperatures. But a ...

In the early hours of October 7, 2014, while most of America slumbered, members of the Swedish Academy of Sciences were meeting to decide to whom they should award the Nobel Prize in Physics. The ...
