Designed to control the frequency of crystal oscillator circuits, the 3022 series of high-ratio, hyperabrupt varactor tuning diodes is designed to deliver a dc bias control voltage from -0.3V to -4V.

Diodes are tiny components that allow electricity to flow in only one direction. In this video, you'll learn how diodes work, ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

Transistors are the fundamental building blocks behind today's electronic revolution, powering everything from smartphones to powerful servers by controlling the flow of electrical currents. But ...

Among passive electronic components, the fuse and diode are well known, well understood, widely used, and essential to many circuits and systems. Still, each has inherent shortcomings that make them ...

This digital thermometer circuit diagram uses a common 1N4148 diode as the temperature sensor. The temperature coefficient of the diode, -2 mV/°C is exploited for this application to create an ...

New “transient electronics” dissolve in the presence of water, opening up a new range of possible applications. Image via the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois and Tufts University For most of ...

Diodes today are solid-state devices, but in the beginning of the electronics age, they were crystals, as it was the German physicist Ferdinand Braun who first discovered in 1874 that crystals had ...

The tale begins with a feasibility study on the manufacture of colored fluorescing thin films for optical safety applications. A project on the development of novel gas sensors followed. In the ...
