Diode

The reliability of any electronic device depends on how well the hardware protection circuits have been designed. The end user (consumer) is prone to make mistakes, and it is the responsibility of a good hardware designer to protect his hardware from any mishap. There are ample types of protection circuits, each with its own specific applications. The most common type of…

Toshiba develops a new Schottky barrier diode product “CUHS10F60” targeted at applications such as rectification and backflow prevention in power supply circuits. It features a low thermal resistance of 105°C/W in its newly developed US2H package that has the packaging code “SOD-323HE”. The package’s thermal resistance has been reduced by about 50% compared to the conventional USC…

Diodes generally are known as a device that allows the flow of current in one direction (forward biased) and offers resistance to the flow of current when used in reverse bias. Zener Diode (Named after the American scientist C. Zener who first explained its operational principles) on the other hand, not only allow the flow of current when used in forward bias,…

LED Blinking is a very common and almost first program for every embedded learner or beginner. In which we blink an LED with some delay. So today we are here with the same project, but here we will use an AC bulb instead of a normal LED and will blink an AC bulb. You can also drive into this project of Relay Interfacing with PIC Microcontroller.

In general, all the electronic devices need DC power supply but it is impossible to generate DC power so, we need an alternative to get some DC power thus the usage of diodes comes into the picture to convert AC power to DC power. A diode is a tiny electronic component used in almost all the electronic circuits to enable the flow of current in only one…
