This application note describes the diode selection process and snubber design for high voltage inverting flyback converter for subscriber-line interface card (SLIC) applications. Critical diode ...

A diode is a tiny component that controls the flow of electricity by allowing current to pass in only one direction. This ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

[Hales] has been on a mission for a while to make his own diodes and put them to use and now he’s succeeded with diodes made of sodium bicarbonate and water, aluminum tape and soldered copper. By ...

Power Integrations, a leader in high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion, has announced that its 200 V Qspeed diodes – LQ10N200CQ and LQ20N200CQ – are available with ...

Unlike filament lamps, where electrical energy must be converted into heat before light can be produced, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are able to transform electrical energy directly into light energy ...
