Devices called “PIN diodes” are commonly used as variable dynamic resistances in variable attenuators for RF and microwave applications. Driven to conduct such and so many milliamperes DC, they can ...

A single-molecule diode with the highest on–off current (or rectification) ratio to date has been unveiled by a team of physicists and chemists in the US. While single-molecule diodes have been made ...

IXYS Corporation introduced the PCO-7114, a compact and economical pulsed-current OEM laser diode driver module that provides up to 50 Ampere current at a fixed pulse width of ≤4 nanoseconds. It is ...

OSAKA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Panasonic Corporation today announced that it developed gallium nitride (GaN) diodes that can not only operate at a high current that is four times greater than that ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. When devices are being designed to operate at low voltage, it’s often necessary to take into account the voltage drop ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

Download this article in PDF format. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years later, a new PIN diode concept—shielded-anode PIN diode (SAPIN)—has ...
