An electronic circuit that converts AC to DC and multiplies the source voltage. Using capacitor/diode pairs, the capacitor stores the source voltage like a charge pump, and the diode rectifies it. The ...

2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the Greinacher voltage multiplier, invented by Swiss physicist Heinrich Greinacher in 1919. In 1932, Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Walton used this basic circuit to ...

Diodes Incorporated (NASDAQ:DIOD) is one of the 14 Small Publicly Traded Semiconductor Companies to Invest in Now.

Zeners are commonly used as low-current sources for bias voltage functions, but the proper voltage reference can give the same result and with much-lower dissipation and no performance tradeoffs.

Diodes Inc.’s 80-V ideal-diode controllers provide robust protection against reverse connections and voltage transients for ...

Negative differential resistance, sometimes called negative dynamic resistance (NDR), occurs when an increase in voltage ...

Utilizing the photo-sensitive nature of silicon, VMI has created a line of hermetically sealed, high voltage optocouplers and opto-diodes in versions that can be assembled in series configuration for ...
