The fun part about logic gates is that there are so many ways to make them, with each approach having its own advantages and disadvantages. Although these days transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is … ...

The technique described in the patent uses a proprietary semiconductor circuit design with a “Thin Gate Driver” output stage to achieve very fast switching of the high currents generated by ...

The gate is hooked to ground, allowing current to move across the DS junction when the battery is connected. This design also uses a clamping diode to keep the gate voltage within a safe range.

(a) and (b) represent for the schematic geometry of the thermal diode consisting of Ni0.85Fe0.15S and Al2O3 for forward and reverse direction. (c) Thermal rectification factor (γ) as a function ...

Justin Mamaradlo continues his exploration of the P2 with a look at the diode bridge, including a modified version, and the offset adjust blocks.

The circuit uses this diode as a temperature sensor (the temperature coefficient is about −2 mV/°C for silicon). During the negative half-wave of the input AC, while the MOSFET Q1 is OFF, the negative ...
