Using a PN-junction diode for temperature measurement usually depends on its 2‑mV/K temperature coefficient. Conventionally, you must amplify and digitize this voltage with an ADC before you can use ...

[Todd Harrison] needed a way to run a 12 volt PC fan from mains voltage. Well, we think he really just needed something to keep him occupied on a Sunday, but that’s beside the point. He shows us how ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a high step-down dc-dc converter. In the proposed converter, the high step-down voltage gain is achieved by using diode-capacitor-inductor cells for the whole range of ...

Abstract: A ring diode-capacitor network for current-balancing multiple LED strings is presented. The concept is based on utilizing the charge-balance property of capacitors to balance the currents of ...

The other day Linda from Purchasing came to me with a problem: Lou from Operations needed to source a replacement for a shorted diode on a switching power supply. The darned thing was marked with a ...

A Laser Diode driver circuit is a circuit which is used to limit the current and then supplies to the Laser Diode, so it can work properly. If we directly connect it to the supply, due to more current ...
