Diodes Incorporated announces the ZXCT18xQ series of automotive-compliant* high-precision current shunt monitors. These ...

The launch of the ZXCT18xQ series strengthens Diodes' 26V power rail current monitoring portfolio. It complements the previously released ZXCT199Q and the ZXCT21xQ series, which support highly precise ...

A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...

Then the diode was known as a "valve," because it forced current in the tube to travel exclusively in one direction. Getting that single directional flow was critical for radio sets which needed ...

Diodes close diodeAn electrical device that allows current to flow in one direction only. are electronic components that can be used to regulate the voltage in circuits and to make logic gates.

By putting in four layers, instead of the three used in transistors, the Shockley Diode could do more than a transistor. For one, it acted like a rectifier, able to turn alternating current into ...

A semiconductor diode is a two-element semiconductor device that makes use of rectifying properties in a PN junction in order to convert alternating currents into direct currents by permitting current ...

The concept of rectification—where current flows more easily in one direction than the other—is essential for the functioning of many electronic devices, from diodes to transistors.
