The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: t… ...

A conventional low-voltage silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum reverse voltage, for example with the 1N4001 rectifier it’s 50V.

Mystery of the printed diode solved Date: July 7, 2014 Source: Linköping Universitet Summary: A thirteen-year-long mystery that has involved a long series of researchers has finally been solved.

In this Design Idea, an old technique of diode-based 16-to-4 encoding is combined with a new design, to scan a record number of buttons – 74 – with only four I/O pins!. The diode encoder: Background.

A group of researchers developed a highly sensitive rectifying element in the form of a nanowire backward diode, which can covert low-power microwaves into electricity. The new technology is ...

Therefore, a magnetic field diode in which the field can only be transferred coil-to-coil in one direction should not be possible. One-way system: ... -viable magnetic field diode can be made, it ...

Andersen described some recent examples of the real-world applications of diode lasers in OCT. “The superluminescent laser diodes have really been the key component in OCT, where several of the ...
