The top circuit, in the diagram above, is a half-wave rectifier and you can see the circuit’s effects on a sinusoidal signal. What is the bottom circuit and how would it effect a sinusoidal input?

Here is the simple diode circuit and the I-V characteristic curve of a diode. The circuit shows a diode connected in series with a resistor and a DC voltage source. The I-V characteristic curve ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

You can create a release to package software, along with release notes and links to binary files, for other people to use. Learn more about releases in our docs.

Figure 1 A series diode protects systems from reverse polarity but wastes power in diode losses. Figure 2 You can use a bridge rectifier so that your system works no matter what the input polarity is.

This video explains the function of diodes and how they are used to control the flow of electrical current in electronic ...

The first thing I ever built without a kit was a 5 V regulated power supply using the old LM309K. That’s a classic linear regulator like a 7805. While they are simple, they waste a lot of energy as ...
