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 ...
TP5.0SMD-FL FlatSuppressX TVS diodes from Littelfuse. The TP5.0SMD-FL TVS diodes protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients caused by lightning and other voltage transient events.
A special control IC that emulates a “smart diode” along with an external MOSFET allows positive inputs and prevents negative inputs for automotive and industrial applications. This new IC replaces ...
It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...
The following application note shows how to create a circuit that converts the low output current from a photo-diode into a fast-responding voltage. To view the application note, click on the URL ...
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 ...
