When you get down to it, solar cells aren’t much different from the diodes and transistors in your parts drawers or inside your beloved electronics. They’re both made of silicon or some other ...

This application note discusses some ways on how to maintain accuracy when diodes are employed as remote sensors wiht the remote temperature sensing devices from Microchip. A list of diode ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

PIN diodes, which sandwich a lightly doped intrinsic (I) region between heavily doped P and N regions, are used extensively in RF and microwave applications. Common applications of PIN diodes are ...

When they need to add temperature control to a project, many hackers reach for a K-type thermocouple for their high-temperature needs, or an integrated temperature-sensing IC when it doesn’t get that ...

A startup company named Sandtracker is challenging existing assumptions regarding RFID tag and reader designs with a new RFID technology that replaces silicon chips in the tags. The result, according ...
