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 ...

The traditional diode AM detector is shown in Figure 1. This detector has to operate at zero DC potential, so if the source has a DC component, the R-C combination is needed to block the DC in the ...

[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 ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has expanded its automotive-grade surge-protection Zener diode lineup with the release of the XCEZ series. These new diodes are housed in a small and versatile SOD-523 ...

Transistors are the fundamental building blocks behind today's electronic revolution, powering everything from smartphones to powerful servers by controlling the flow of electrical currents. But ...

Not that this happens often, but what do you do when faced with a repair where you don’t know the power source but you do know you have to drive LED backlighting? When faced with this dilemma [Eric ...
