To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground through R1 and the cathode tied to the Vcc power rail.

A laser diode is changing LiDAR technology, offering precision in distance measurement and spatial recognition. Read more!

The comments by Pei and Heeger on our paper published in Nature Materials 1 call for a clarification of the mechanism of the operation of light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEECs). The simplest ...

ROHM has developed a high-output laser diode – RLD8BQAB3 – for use in ADAS equipped with LiDAR for distance measurement and spatial recognition. It will initially start supplying samples targeting ...

You know just what to do. The ground pin of a LM7805 connects to the cathode of a TL431 programmable Zener diode pulled from an old scrapped TV. The diode is referenced to a voltage divider ...
