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 ...

Atomtronics has the goal of developing a one-to-one analogy of electronic systems, components and devices with ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices It is being researched at the University of ...

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 wide ...

Limiters are necessary in situations in which a transmitter delivers signals of peak power on the order of kilowatts or megawatts to an antenna that also connects to the receiver. Receivers, however, ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

Ever since the development of the first computer, technology has been moving toward making electronics smaller and packing more juice into them. This has led to the development of nanoelectronics, ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

A diode may look small, but it plays a crucial role in controlling how electricity flows. This video explains how diodes ...

Today, many analog IC manufacturers provide software models in SPICE format. With an enlarging community using electronic design automation (EDA), it's become a prominent challenge to provide SPICE ...
