Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special! One of the the most commonly used ‘specialty’ diode would have to be the metal ...
What is a P-N Junction? A p-n junction is a fundamental building block of modern electronics, formed by joining together two types of semiconductor materials: p-type (positive) and n-type (negative).
Details about avalanche and flyback-type converters. MOSFETs and linear mode. In Part 1, we discussed the body diode, which is a PN junction diode that lies inside of the MOSFET, between the n- region ...
