External TVS diodes can be used to supplement the internal clamping diodes of ICs. Surge ability of silicon TVS diodes are related to size. External TVS diodes can be 10x larger than internal clamping ...

When the signal applied to such electronic devices as diodes and transistors is large in comparison with the bias level, they show ON‐OFF behavior, functioning like a switch. The v‐i characteristic ...

Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

Here is the simple diode circuit and the I-V characteristic curve of a diode. The circuit shows a diode connected in series with a resistor and a DC voltage source. The I-V characteristic curve ...

In the circuit shown above, Vs is a 10-V square wave period 4ms, R=100Ω, and C=20µF. Sketch Vc for the first two cycles of Vs if the capacitor is initially uncharged and the diode is ideal.

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

[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 ...
