Figure 4 shows an assembled zener-diode-tester circuit. The zener diode under test is On Semiconductor‘s BZX55C15RL, which has a working voltage of 13.8 to 15.6V. The voltage in Figure 4was measured ...

Integrated Driver Circuit Figure 2 shows a solution with a dedicated APC laser driver IC 4 for CW operation up to 300 mA from a 2.4 to 15-V supply voltage. It requires only four additional passive ...

In 2023, about 4.4% (176 terawatt-hours) of total energy consumption in the United States was by data centers that are essential for processing large quantities of information. Of that 176 TWh, ...

When the integrated circuit was invented in 1958, it eclipsed the four-layer diode's capabilities and any market for the diode quickly dried up. Four-layered semiconductors are, however, used today.

By combining 49 of them he’s put together a soda bicarb diode steering circuit for a 7-segment display capable of showing the digits 0 to 9.

A superconducting diode bridge composed of four superconducting diodes efficiently converts AC to DC at cryogenic temperatures, achieving rectification efficiencies up to 42% ± 5%.

Innovations such as quantum thermal diodes, capable of directing heat flow in a specific direction, and quantum thermal transistors, which amplify heat flows similarly to how electronic ...
