We always enjoy [w2aew’s] videos, and his latest on zener diodes is no exception. In it, he asserts that all Zener diodes are not created equal. Why? You’ll have to watch the video below to find out.

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley wanted ...

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 ...

Claimed to be the first-ever “magnetic field diode”, a device in which one wire coil can transfer its magnetic field to a second coil, but not the other way around has been created by Jordi Prat-Camps ...

A team of researchers from the University of Georgia and Ben-Gurion University has developed an electronic component so tiny, you can't even see it under an ordinary microscope. See, the team used a ...

It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...
