To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground through R1 and the cathode tied to the Vcc power rail.

In essence, the four-layer diode was the first integrated circuit since it did the work of two transistors, two resistors, and a diode -- all in a single crystal. Unfortunately, they were so ...

This is Circuit VR because not only are we going ... There are also variations that try to overcome the diode switching threshold or correct other undesirable effects. One of the most interesting ...

Finally, the power diode losses - both on-state losses and switching losses - are examined in a converter circuit, including a comparison of silicon p-n diodes and 4H-SiC Schottky diodes.

If the signal is amplified, it is active. A special type of component is the integrated circuit (IC) where large numbers of transistors, resistors, diodes, and other electronic components are packaged ...
