Where there is power there is heat, and where there is heat there is often a need to sense temperature (the most widely sensed physical variable). What we call temperature is our measurement of a ...

Various kinds of diodes have a property called “storage charge.” The effect of storage charge is that when a diode is carrying a current in its forward conduction mode, getting that current to stop ...

Called DZDH0401DW, it is designed to work with a p-channel mosfet in the high-side rail in systems up to 40V. It might better be described as a ‘nearly ideal diode controller’ as it draws some current ...

In their paper, Chen et al. 1 claimed the first experimental demonstration of a photon thermal diode that promises significant benefits for thermal engineering and society, such as ‘thermal ...

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq: AOSL), a designer, developer, and global supplier of a broad range of power semiconductors and power ICs, and ...

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley wanted ...

The proof-of-concept uses a van der Waals heterostructure with 2D materials: NbSe 2 – Nb 3 Br 8 – NbSe 2, and is superconducting on one direction, and normally-conducting in the other. Compared with ...
