What if your Gigabit Ethernet protection circuit response resembled that of an ideal diode? Asks Len Stencel, applications manager for semiconductor products at Bourns. Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is a ...

Robust systems often have several different power sources, and switches are implemented to separate the power supplies from each other to avoid damage. In most cases, multiple diodes are placed in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most rechargeable battery-powered systems include a switch that connects the load either to the battery or to a source of charging power. This switch allows a system with a depleted battery to operate ...

Diodes has introduced a pair of 80V ideal diode controllers to protect against reverse connections and voltage transients. Minimum operating voltage is 3.2V. “The controllers have all the features ...
