As the design engineer of Touchstone Semiconductor’s TS1001 – a 0.8V/0.6µA operational amplifier – I thought it a good idea to show some applications examples that may be less obvious and are really ...

[Hales] has been on a mission for a while to make his own diodes and put them to use and now he’s succeeded with diodes made of sodium bicarbonate and water, aluminum tape and soldered copper. By ...

This is a simple fire alarm circuit using Germanium Diode and 555 timer. In this circuit Germanium Diode plays very important role in detecting the fire.This is a simple fire alarm circuit using ...

[Paul] designed a new open-hardware RNG (random number generator) that includes two sources of entropy in a small package. The first source of entropy is a typical avalanche diode circuit, which is ...

This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).

A special control IC that emulates a “smart diode” along with an external MOSFET allows positive inputs and prevents negative inputs for automotive and industrial applications. This new IC replaces ...
