The top circuit, in the diagram above, is a half-wave rectifier and you can see the circuit’s effects on a sinusoidal signal. What is the bottom circuit and how would it effect a sinusoidal input?

Atomtronics has the goal of developing a one-to-one analogy of electronic systems, components and devices with ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices It is being researched at the University of ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

Figure 1 A series diode protects systems from reverse polarity but wastes power in diode losses. Figure 2 You can use a bridge rectifier so that your system works no matter what the input polarity is.

CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Fundamental concepts in electronics. Diode, BJT and FET Circuits; design using ideal operational amplifiers; feedback; frequency response; biasing; current sources and mirrors; ...

In a proof-of-concept study, researchers have created self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can perform simple logic functions. The work demonstrates that it is possible to create stable digital ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...
