For the standard junction diode, there are two operating regions and three possible biasing conditions. There is no external potential energy applied to the P-N junction when a diode is connected in a ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

The X9530 laser-diode-bias controller incorporates all circuitry necessary to control the bias of a laser diode while allowing for compensation of temperature drift and laser-diode manufacturing ...

An N-channel JFET has a low bias current when its gate is biased negative to the source. However, this requires either that the gate voltage be biased negative with respect to the source voltage or ...

Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

PIN diodes are named for a region of undoped intrinsic semiconductor lying between their p and n-type material. This area eliminates capacitance effects between the n and p-type areas that can ...
