Santa Clara, Calif.—Qspeed Semiconductor has announced the full production release of its first common cathode product in an industry standard TO-220 package. The LQA20T300C consists of two 10-amp, ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a ...

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism for supercurrent rectification, in which current flows primarily in one direction in a superconductor. By using a specific iron-based superconductor, they ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

In the first part of this series, we took a look at a “toy” negative-differential-resistance circuit made from two ordinary transistors. Although this circuit allows experimentation with ...
