Although they are a simple device, diodes do have a number of traits to consider. These traits are often application dependent. Some applications include: rectifiers, signal ORing, transistor turn off ...

Details about avalanche and flyback-type converters. MOSFETs and linear mode. In Part 1, we discussed the body diode, which is a PN junction diode that lies inside of the MOSFET, between the n- region ...

The Junction Field Effect Transistors (JFET) has a channel consisting of N-type semiconductor or P-type semiconductor material and the gate is made of the opposite semiconductor type. The junction FET ...

There are limitations to older circuit protection solutions that use Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes. Responding to this situation, completely new transient current suppressors utilize ...
