Download this article in PDF format. The RF PIN diode as we know it today was invented by J. Nishizawa in 1950. Now, almost 70 years later, a new PIN diode concept—shielded-anode PIN diode (SAPIN)—has ...

Cathode and Anode: These terms are widely used in electrolysis and electrochemical systems. Understanding them is important, as their charges vary based on the system and reaction they are involved in ...

I n an idealized diode, no reverse current flows from cathode to anode when the device is reverse-biased. However, with real-world diodes, large amounts of stored charge can flow from the cathode—back ...

Which side of the diode is the anode and which is the cathode? Do you have a method that allows you to easily remember the correct side? The anode and cathode are noted on the symbol. A is for anode; ...

The PCB fabrication and assembly industry does have standards, but enough people don’t follow these standards that the manufacturers are obliged to assume that no one does The PCB fabrication and ...

A semiconductor diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction, acting like a one-way valve for electricity. It is commonly used for voltage regulation, converting ...
