Figure 2 These circuits demonstrate applications using a diode as a temperature sensor: a) The electronic candle LED turns off when air is blown onto the 1N4148 diode. By using a resistor-trimpot ...

Figure 1 The addition of a simple diode in the emitter circuit yields the symmetric waveform in Figure 4. Figure 2 This amplifier circuit produces the distorted waveform in Figure 3. Diode D 1 ...

By using a constant-current source along with a ratiometric DAC configuration, the output intensity of a laser diode can be carefully set and controlled using this simple circuit.

The distortion spectrum of this circuit with a 1-M? source (signal generator connected in series with R1) and 50-Ω load is much improved (Fig. 1, trace b).

The ZXGD3005E6 10Amp gate driver from Diodes has been designed to ensure ultra fast switching of power mosfet and IGBT loads in power supply, solar inverter and motor drive circuits. With an emitter ...

Harmonic distortion cut by circuit designSteve Bush Third harmonic distortion in amplifiers can be dramatically cut with a new circuit configuration, claims UK feedback specialist Dr Aubrey Sandman.
