Perhaps you’ve also used them to generate a stable voltage drop because they have a pretty constant voltage across them when current is flowing, but that’s it. Diodes: the shortest Hackaday ...

Another benefit is the higher power output. Multimode laser diodes are able to generate higher optical power, making them ideal for applications that require greater intensity. This makes them a ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Refrigerators now come with LED lighting. The light-emitting diodes use less energy but can also degrade the taste of milk faster. Produced by Jacqui Frank.

Then knowing he needed 4 mA to power each LED for backlighting he used some 1978 vintage current limiting diodes designed to pass 2mA each regardless of voltage source, within limits of course.

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) will host a conference call on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Central Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time) to discuss its ...

Optical rectennas enhance solar energy conversion, utilizing advanced diodes for efficient energy harvesting, crucial for the ...

The most widely known modern application for diodes is in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These use a special kind of doping so that when an electron crosses the n-p junction, a photon is emitted, which ...
