In the first part of this series, we took a look at a “toy” negative-differential-resistance circuit made from two ordinary transistors. Although this circuit allows experimentation with ...

ROHM has developed an innovative Schottky barrier diode that overcomes the conventional trade-off between VF and IR. This way, it provides high reliability protection for a wide range of ...

The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: thermionic ...

A thermal diode is a two-terminal nonlinear device that rectifies energy carriers (for example, photons, phonons and electrons) in the thermal domain, the heat transfer analogue to the familiar ...

ROHM Semiconductor today announced the development of an innovative Schottky barrier diode that overcomes the traditional V F / I R trade-off, delivering high reliability protection for a wide range ...
