The new Schottky barrier diode helps protect image sensors from damage, even when they're powered off, from sunlight.

Abstract: This paper proposes a solid-state circuit breaker comprising silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and a SiC diode, based on the principle of avalanche voltage clamping. The key challenge in ...

Abstract: In this work, a real-time afterpulsing monitoring circuit for single photon avalanche diode (SPAD) is proposed and implemented which can be used in real-time to detect the afterpulsing ...

This video explains how semiconductors work and how their electrical properties are controlled using band gaps and doping.

Smart glasses that display information directly in the field of vision are considered a key technology of the future—but ...

Straight out of the golden age of DIY electronics, the Digital Wooing Aid circuit turns TTL logic into tender words. It’s ...

A simple way to stabilize the operating temperature of any components that need it. Part 1 shows the purely analog approach, ...

Each pixel they made measures 300 by 300 nm, which is smaller than the width of a human hair, yet emits orange light as ...

The numbers you see on the box don't always work out in real life. LED bulbs do last longer, but those claims about five to 10 years are estimates based on internal testing -- and companies are always ...

That means inside every LED bulb are tiny circuit components -- and their soldered contact points -- which are far more vulnerable than the diode itself. The Lighting Research Center of the Rensselaer ...

You can create a release to package software, along with release notes and links to binary files, for other people to use. Learn more about releases in our docs.

Pickering to include a new variant with an electrostatic shield between the switch and the coil to help minimise noise.
