Linear Technology Corporation introduces the LTC4370, a first-of-its-kind current-sharing controller with reverse current blocking. The LTC4370 frees the designer from the limitations and ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a supercurrent to flow in both directions. Published in Nature Physics, the ...

The “electrification” of numerous functions within automobiles and related vehicles continues, and that trend applies to all vehicle types—those with internal combustion engines (ICE), hybrid electric ...

IXYS introduces its new 2.2 kV rectifier diode that offers an increase of more than 25% in current rating. This new addition to the “Wespack” rectifier diode portfolio presents an ultimate power ...

“Demonstration of resonant tunneling effects in metal-double-insulator-metal (MI 2 M) diodes,” Amina Belkadi, Ayendra Weerakkody, & Garret Moddel, Nature ...

It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...

This course is primarily aimed at first year graduate students interested in engineering or science, along with professionals with an interest in power electronics and semiconductor devices . It is ...

We might tend to take the word “diode” for granted if we’re thinking of a “diode” as just a two-lead or two-terminal device that gets used in this or that place for this or that purpose. It can become ...

In the first part of this series, we took a look at a “toy” negative-differential-resistance circuit made from two ordinary transistors. Although this circuit allows experimentation with ...
