By combining 49 of them he’s put together a soda bicarb diode steering circuit for a 7-segment display capable of showing the digits 0 to 9.

Although Fig. 2 is a simple circuit, it has the disadvantage of high forward voltage (V F) when the diode conducts. For example, the typical V F of a Schottky diode is ~0.4V and can result in ...

Two of these were diode types. More examples of Williams VFC designs incorporating diode pumps are detailed in his fascinating (and entertaining!) narrative of his creative design process: “ The Zoo ...

Nexperia today introduced a new series of five high-performance protection 1 V diodes that provide optimized protection for AC-coupled radio-frequency (RF) transmission lines against electrostatic ...
