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 ...

The secret sauce is in component selection and tuning. Opengeiger uses the BPW34 diode because it is relatively common and has a large surface area, but also because it has a very low capacitance ...

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley ...

A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...

The UH-1N is capable of flight in instrument and nighttime conditions. The crew complement is normally three (pilot, co-pilot and flight engineer), but may be flown with fewer crewmembers ...

In fact, Henry Round at Marconi Labs noted the emission of light from a semiconductor diode 100 years ago and, independently, a forgotten Russian genius — Oleg Losev — discovered the LED.

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

Looking for an inspection copy? This title is not currently available for inspection. However, if you are interested in the title for your course we can consider offering an inspection copy. To ...

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 ...
