[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 ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

External TVS diodes can be used to supplement the internal clamping diodes of ICs. Surge ability of silicon TVS diodes are related to size. External TVS diodes can be 10x larger than internal clamping ...

This application note describes the diode selection process and snubber design for high voltage inverting flyback converter for subscriber-line interface card (SLIC) applications. Critical diode ...

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 ...
