[Julian] knows that real diodes you can buy don’t work exactly like we say they do. That’s actually pretty common. We routinely ignore things like wire resistance and source resistance in batteries.

What if your Gigabit Ethernet protection circuit response resembled that of an ideal diode? Asks Len Stencel, applications manager for semiconductor products at Bourns. Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is a ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Power systems employ diodes to perform a variety of functions. For example, diodes can protect against damage due to power-source reverse-polarity ...

Robust systems often have several different power sources, and switches are implemented to separate the power supplies from each other to avoid damage. In most cases, multiple diodes are placed in the ...

Linear Technology Corporation is claiming a major breakthrough with the introduction of the LT4320, an ideal diode bridge controller for 9V to 72V systems that replaces each of the four diodes in a ...
