To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground through R1 and the cathode tied to the Vcc power rail.

By combining 49 of them he’s put together a soda bicarb diode steering circuit for a 7-segment display capable of showing the digits 0 to 9. He takes the idea for his diode from electrolytic ...

In essence, the four-layer diode was the first integrated circuit since it did the work of two transistors, two resistors, and a diode -- all in a single crystal. Unfortunately, they were so ...

This is a similar operation as performed by a clamper circuit. In fact, a TVS diode is considered a clamper. When the voltage returns to levels below the breakdown voltage, the TVS diode ceases to ...
