Diodes are one of the most important parts of any electronics project, and if you don't understand how they work you'll destroy any electronics project you work on. Thankfully, Adafruit has a video ...

Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their reverse breakdown region, but Zener diodes are the exception to this rule. Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their ...

[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 ...

Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes are useful in protecting electronic circuits from electrostatic discharge (ESD). The TVS diodes used for ESD protection are silicon-avalanche diodes. With a ...
