When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

This video explains the function of diodes and how they are used to control the flow of electrical current in electronic circuits. Diodes are essential components that allow current to move in only ...

This video explains how LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) function and why they are widely used in modern lighting and electronic ...

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley wanted ...

After the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster, radiation measurement became newly relevant for a lot of people. Geiger-Müller tubes, previously a curiosity, became simultaneously important and ...

Diodes is an analog/mixed-signal supplier relatively diversified across applications, though concentrated in Asia. Read why ...

The PIN diode market offers significant opportunities in automotive radar for ADAS, fast-switching diodes for 5G, and high-power solutions for defense. Global 5G expansion and autonomous vehicle ...

Diodes Incorporated announces the PI7C9X762Q, an automotive-compliant I2C/SPI-bus-to-dual-channel UART bridge.

Toshiba has created a range of automotive-grade Zeners for surge protection in the 0.8 x 1.6mm SOD-523 package. Called the XCEZ series, they rated at 150 or 300mW (see below) and come in 20 E24 values ...
