This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

The designers of automotive electronics face many technical challenges during the system design process, including designing methods of protection against a variety of electrical hazards. The ...

Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful ...

These automotive-grade Zener diodes in SOD-523 packaging bring protection to entertainment, ADAS, BMS, and other ...

Protecting an electronic circuit from damage due to excessive current or heat is the primary function of many circuit protection technologies. In the past, this protection took the form of a fuse or ...

Toshiba Electronics has expanded its range of Zener diodes with a further 15 products to protect the power lines of semiconductor devices.

Design engineers often give circuit protection only cursory attention. For example, fuses, diodes, and varistors are so well known that designers select them with ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

The 15 products in the lineup cover a range of Zener voltage (Vz) from 12V (typ.) to 51V (typ.), supporting a wide range of commonly used voltages. These new products help to enhance equipment ...
