The diode works like a typical silicon PN junction diode in forward-biased conditions but can handle reversed voltage up to a certain threshold. The formula RS = (Vin – VZ) / Iz is used to determine ...
The datasheet indicates that: "The 5V-tolerant open drain IO type does not have the output-high PMOS, pullup resistor, or clamping diode." Except for the 5V port, all other pins have clamp diodes, ...
Recognizing the nonlinear behavior of the 12AX7 vacuum tube, used in audio and old op-amp applications, Dr. Dyer compares various models for fit to real-world device data.
