A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

IXYS Corporation introduced the PCO-7114, a compact and economical pulsed-current OEM laser diode driver module that provides up to 50 Ampere current at a fixed pulse width of ≤4 nanoseconds. It is ...

Not that this happens often, but what do you do when faced with a repair where you don’t know the power source but you do know you have to drive LED backlighting? When faced with this dilemma [Eric ...

A single-molecule diode with the highest on–off current (or rectification) ratio to date has been unveiled by a team of physicists and chemists in the US. While single-molecule diodes have been made ...

What would happen if you combined the unparalleled efficiency of a superconductor with the flexibility and controllability of a semiconductor? Thanks to a new breakthrough in quantum materials, we may ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When devices are being designed to operate at low voltage, it’s often necessary to take into account the voltage drop ...
