When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...
The hobby circuit below uses an unusual method to generate about 12,000 volts with about 5uA of current. Two SCRs form two pulse generator circuits. The two SCRs discharge a 0.047uF a 400v capacitor ...
The possibility of creating a frequency-tunable function generator with rectangular and triangular pulses of constant amplitude and electronic synchronous control of equivalent capacitances in the ...
MALVERN, PA — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) has introduced a new series of high-voltage ceramic disc capacitors designed to improve efficiency and reliability in demanding industrial and ...
MALVERN, Pa., Sept. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of Class 1 radial-leaded high voltage single layer ceramic disc capacitors that ...
Diodes Incorporated (NASDAQ:DIOD) is one of the 14 Small Publicly Traded Semiconductor Companies to Invest in Now. On September 17, Diodes Incorporated (NASDAQ:DIOD) announced a new product called the ...
A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...
Energy harvesting is the art of extracting useful power from energy sources normally deemed too weak, too dilute, or too impractical to be usable. I have already presented an example of such a ...
