A recent forum post reminded me of a common issue we see here at Screaming Circuits – ambiguous diode polarity marking. To start with, some diode manufactures mess with our heads where polarity ...
Design analysis of the K2-W Vacuum Tube Op Amp’s design and operation reveals the mad science that created a commercial revolution in 1950s and 1960s analog computing. Op amps played a critical role ...
A special control IC that emulates a “smart diode” along with an external MOSFET allows positive inputs and prevents negative inputs for automotive and industrial applications. This new IC replaces ...
