Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes might just be the technology that allows electronics achieve the next big leap in processing speed. Research into diode design conducted at the Oregon State ...

The polarity markings on LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) seem to be a common cause of confusion. The polarity may be indicated by a flat section on one side of the body or by one lead being shorter than ...

One of the most common parts and one of the earliest electronic devices is known to be a power diode. Its purpose is to limit the electric current’s ability to flow in one direction while obstructing ...

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

The AL8866Q, an automotive-compliant LED driver from Diodes Inc., is designed to drive an external MOSFET. The DC-switching LED driver-controller supports buck, boost, buck-boost, and SEPIC topologies ...

Engineers have designed a new diode that transmits more electricity than any other device of its kind, and the inspiration for it came from technology that is 40 years old. COLUMBUS, Ohio – Engineers ...

Researchers working collaboratively between the University of Georgia, USA and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel have developed the world's smallest diode. A diode is an essential component ...

Diodes Inc. has expanded its automotive-compliant LED driver portfolio, adding the AL8891Q synchronous buck LED driver with high-side current sense that drives up to 2 A from a wide 4.5-V to 65-V ...

Researchers in China have demonstrated the first high-temperature superconducting diode, operating above liquid nitrogen temperatures without magnetic fields. Using cuprate materials, the device ...
