In the world of electronics, a Zener diode stands out as an essential tool for regulating voltage and protecting circuits. But what makes it special? This guide is designed to break it down for you in ...

My recent columns discussed the physics and applications of discrete-zener-diode references, and the conclusion they reached is that discrete zener diodes make poor references because of tolerance ...

Abstract: The avalanche multiplication characteristics of Al/sub 0.8/Ga/sub 0.2/As have been investigated in a series of p-i-n and n-i-p diodes with i-region widths, w, varying from 1 /spl mu/m to ...

Abstract: Snapbacks in sustain characteristics of lateral double-diffused MOSFETs (LDMOSFETs) are caused by positive feedbacks between the turn-on of the bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and the ...
