[GreatScott] has a good demo of rectifying a signal with a regular diode and a Schottky. At a certain frequency, the normal diode starts conducting when it should be off at a certain frequency.

Tunnel Diodes aren’t all that different from PN diodes, in fact they are PN diodes. Unlike a normal rectifier, tunnel diodes are doped very, very heavily and as a result have a very small ...

This was the curve tracer, able to display detailed characteristic curves of many components. Early models displayed vacuum tube curves; later ones were of course aimed at measuring transistors, ...

The diode voltage vs. temperature curve can be measured using the EVQ4572-QB-00A evaluation board (Figure 2). It can also be measured directly from a custom board. Here, it’s important to note that ...
