The lowly diode, a device with only two leads, can nonetheless do many things. Diodes can detect, rectify, suppress, emit light, detect light, change capacitance, emit microwaves and more. This wid… ...

Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) has launched a 6.5 kV power module that features IGBT and freewheeling diode functionality integrated into a single chip.

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?

A Korean research team has successfully developed an ultra-miniature nano diode, measuring just one ten-thousandth the ...

This ubiquitous diode is an essential component with a simple basic function: It blocks the flow of current in one direction (reverse bias) but allows it in the opposite direction (forward bias).

Infineon Technologies AG recently launched a 6.5 kV power module that features IGBT and freewheeling diode functionality integrated into a single chip.

A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team has developed a new superconducting diode, a key component in electronic devices, that could help scale up quantum computers for industry use and ...

Researchers have developed a thermal diode that runs on heat instead of electricity. This could lead to heat-resistant computers that function in hot places like on Venus or deep inside the Earth.
