Any PN junction diode can be used as a variable capacitor in reverse biased mode, as well as in the forward biased mode before the knee voltage. The capacitance is usually very small as the junction ...

Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced the industry's first power device capacitance analyzer that automatically characterizes power device junction capacitances using real operating voltages. Agilent ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

You can use the inherent capacitanceof an LED to make a seriesresonant boost circuit that can create avoltage large enough to light the LED.Depending on the color of the LED, youneed a voltage higher ...
