A diode is a tiny component with a powerful job—controlling the direction of electrical current. This video explains how ...

We’re all familiar with semiconductor diodes, whose function is to allow electricity to easily flow in one direction and impede its progress in the other. A thermal diode performs a similar gating ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

The Zener diode is similar to a general-purpose signal diode which consists of a silicon PN junction. It is a special kind of diode in which current is allowed to flow in the forward direction in the ...

A semiconductor diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction, acting like a one-way valve for electricity. It is commonly used for voltage regulation, converting ...
