P-n diodes are two-terminal devices that consist of two types of semiconductor materials (i.e., a p-type and an n-type ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

[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 ...

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 ...

PN junction diodes are the underpinning of modern optoelectronic systems. But, typically, they perform only a single task. To ...

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 ...

A glass substrate was first cleaned with acetone, methanol and deionized water for 5 min each. A transparent ITO electrode was deposited onto the cleaned substrate using a DC sputtering system.

In the quest for higher speed and lower costs, today’s modern electronics use increasingly dense integrated circuit technologies, whose sensitivity to surges creates difficult challenges for designers ...

SPICE circuit simulations are a powerful design tool to analyze a system's immunity against conducted EMI surge voltages. SPICE can serve as a valuable tool to validate and optimize the performance of ...
