This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

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 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).

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

Some groups have coaxed modest numbers of electrons through plastics using quantum mechanical effects, but only by painstakingly manipulating individual molecules at cryogenic temperatures. But a ...

Using a MOSFET as an ideal diode can provide robust and reliable safety protection for the emerging generation of autonomous appliances, as Shane Timmons explains. The growing popularity of cordless ...

SPICE circuit simulations are a powerful design tool to analyze a system's immunity against conducted EMI surge voltages. SPICE can serve as a valuable tool to validate and optimize the performance of ...

Many embedded systems require a stable, low-noise DC reference. This reference can be a stable current or voltage source. These references are used in many ways. Some typical uses are listed as ...
