A diode is a tiny component that controls the flow of electricity by allowing current to pass in only one direction. This ...

Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful component: the diode. In this video, you’ll learn how diodes work, why they allow ...

How does a varactor diode work? To form the PN junction that makes a diode, half the piece is doped with a trace amount of “donor atoms” that have one more electron than the intrinsic stuff to make ...

Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their reverse breakdown region, but Zener diodes are the exception to this rule. Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their ...
