To measure a zener diode’s breakdown voltage, you need a dc voltage source whose voltage exceeds that of the zener voltage. In Figure 1, resistor R SER provides voltage drop between V IN and V ZEN. In ...
The human eye is as comfortable with white light generated by diode lasers as with that produced by increasingly popular light-emitting diodes, according to new tests. Both technologies pass ...
Scientists have discovered how to electrically power insulating nanoparticles using organic molecules that act like tiny ...
Diodes Incorporated has unveiled a new automotive-grade boost controller aimed at the growing market for high-resolution ...
LEDs form an inevitable part in the modern electronics as simple indicators to optical communication devices. Light Emitting Diodes exploit the property of the p-n junction to emit photons when it is ...
LED headlights have largely taken over the market from HID and halogen lights, and they definitely have advantages. Yet HID ...
The simple Diode and LED Tester presented here costs under £5 to build (including all components, the battery and a cheap case) and will indicate the polarity of almost all types of LED and other ...
