If the region widens, the non-conductive region increases and no current can flow through the diode. If it narrows, at a certain potential (~0.7V for a silicon diode) the diode will begin to conduct. This …

Nov 8, 2014 · Finally, is the diode D2 there to protect against a voltage below Vss, or does it have some other purpose? I have tried simulating this circuit, but for some reason it does not work.

A simplified representation of a multimeter diode test function. How the diode mode of a multimeter calcul the voltage drop between one point of the circuit and the ground?

Aug 5, 2018 · The intrinsic body diode is the p-n junction between the body and the drain. In a discrete (standalone) MOSFET, the source and body are usually tied together for convenience to make a …

Mar 1, 2020 · The TVS diode solution still provides protection when no power supply is present. However, the rail clamp diodes provide more precise thresholds for voltage clamping clamping since …

Mar 17, 2023 · A "diode ring mixer" is a more complex crude mixer, sometimes (often?) used with a square-wave signal and it literally switches the polarity of the input signal half the time.

Sep 11, 2023 · I would like to understand in which places one should be using a unidirectional TVS diode and a bi-directional TVS diode. In the USB power line, VBUS (5V), is it enough to place an …

Nov 19, 2022 · If you are dealing with small-signal diodes then no, the resistance of a diode is not an important factor. In general, with such devices, unless you're simulating a circuit and need to build a …

The voltage through the diode is dependent on its spec'ed zener voltage. The current through the diode is dependent on its internal physics, I think 20-30 mA is a good aim to get the spec'ed zener voltage. …

Jun 13, 2020 · I read that the intersection of a row and column represents a bit, and if an intersection is linked with a diode the corresponding data output line goes low or 0. But why? Take the following …
