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 ...

The other day Linda from Purchasing came to me with a problem: Lou from Operations needed to source a replacement for a shorted diode on a switching power supply. The darned thing was marked with a ...

The relative spin direction between two electrodes determines how much capacitance is present at the junction. "We used iron for one electrode and iron oxide for the other," Xiao said. "The electrical ...

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