This circuit was designed to meet a medical application’s requirement to drive a laser diode with reasonable precision and a minimum of components and footprint (the device is now in clinical trials).
As a response to a need for a simpler SMD package and higher current ratings, Semitec have now introduced the new S-series CRD range. The new SOT23 package offers constant current values from 0.1ma ...
It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...
This application note describes the diode selection process and snubber design for high voltage inverting flyback converter for subscriber-line interface card (SLIC) applications. Critical diode ...
Diodes Incorporated's AL5809, offered in a robust two-terminal PowerDI®-123 package, provides an improved accuracy, cost-effective solution for constant-current linear driving of LEDs. Diodes ...
This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for tasks like rectification, ...
