A diode allows current to travel in only one ... by connecting two of these devices together he’s built something of a mechanical rectifier. An electrical rectifier converts alternating current ...

By putting in four layers, instead of the three used in transistors, the Shockley Diode could do more than a transistor. For one, it acted like a rectifier, able to turn alternating current into ...

A conventional low-voltage silicon diode has a forward voltage drop of about 0.7V and a relatively low maximum reverse voltage, for example with the 1N4001 rectifier it’s 50V. For the higher ...

One significant advancement in current-mode FWRs is the introduction of circuits that eliminate the need for traditional diodes and passive components. For instance, a novel precision rectifier ...

For functionality, Mesa/Boogie has also fitted a Variac switch, which works alongside the amp’s switchable rectifiers – which, in turn, toggle between tube and silicon diode rectifier modes ...

The firm offers diodes, rectifiers, transistors, MOSFETs, protection devices, functional specific arrays, single gate, dual gate and standard logic, amplifiers and comparators, Hall-effect ...
