P-n diodes are two-terminal devices that consist of two types of semiconductor materials (i.e., a p-type and an n-type ...

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 ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When devices are being designed to operate at low voltage, it’s often necessary to take into account the voltage drop ...

The MAX16914 and MAX16915 over-voltage protection controllers employ a unique architecture that senses the input and output voltages of two back-to-back p-channel MOSFETs to provide over-voltage ...

During the last 10 years, power supply topology has undergone a basic change. Power supplies of all kinds are now constructed so that heavy and bulky 50/60 Hz mains transformers are no longer ...
