Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage ...

The most demanding component in terms of high-frequency operation on an RF-ID tag is the rectifying device: this device needs to be able to charge a storage capacitor providing quasi-d.c. power supply ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

Although they are usually limited to only two leads, rectifiers and diodes play an important role in power electronic systems. In 2011, many types of rectifier/diodes were introduced, from bridge ...

A full-wave rectifier that exploits the fact that the output voltage of certain single- supply op amps is effectively “clamped” to ground is described. It’s important that the op amp you select be ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

[Dhananjay Gadre] happened across a useful little trick the other day. Take any old 1N4148 or 1N914 glass-package signal diode and wire it up right, and you’ve got yourself a nifty little IR detector.

A photodetector is a kind of optoelectronic device that can detect optical signals and convert them into electrical signals, which includes photodiodes, phototransistors and photoconductors, et al.

Pan Jit International expects its capacity for small signal rectifier diodes to increase to 1.3-1.5 billion units from the current 900 million units, according to the company. Save my User ID and ...
