This video explains the function of diodes and how they are used to control the flow of electrical current in electronic ...

Diodes are one of the most important parts of any electronics project, and if you don't understand how they work you'll destroy any electronics project you work on. Thankfully, Adafruit has a video ...

How does a varactor diode work? To form the PN junction that makes a diode, half the piece is doped with a trace amount of “donor atoms” that have one more electron than the intrinsic stuff to make ...

Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their reverse breakdown region, but Zener diodes are the exception to this rule. Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their ...

[Hales] has been on a mission for a while to make his own diodes and put them to use and now he’s succeeded with diodes made of sodium bicarbonate and water, aluminum tape and soldered copper. By ...

And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...
