Not so fast with dismissing the diode though. There is another trick they have hiding up their sleeves, they can also act as a switch. It shouldn’t come as too much of a shock, after all a quick ...

Self-switching diodes (SSDs) are a type of semiconductor device that exhibit non-linear characteristics, making them suitable for various applications, including terahertz detection. Recent ...

A Buck, Boost, or Buck-Boost switching regulator topology usually consists of a diode, a switching element (MOSFET) and an energy storage device (inductor/capacitor) in the power path, and a ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has announced the launch of 16 new 650 V and 1200 V silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky ...

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 ...
