Editor’s note: Please see this Planet Analog blog, Protecting Against Reverse Polarity: “Which Method is Right for You?” for determining the best method for your particular design. This article ...

Described by its maker as the world's first of its kind, the LASORB component is described as an electrostatic-discharge (ESD) absorber that protects laser diodes, photodiodes and LEDs from single, ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...

This application note discusses the factors that affect dynamic voltage sharing of series connected diodes and explains why co-packaged devices typically see little difference in the instantaneous ...

Researchers from Princeton University in the United States and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia have tested the reverse-bias stability of monolithic ...

Back gating, body bias, substrate bias, and back bias all refer to a technique for dynamically adjusting the threshold voltage of a CMOS transistor. CMOS transistors are often thought of as ...

Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) is considered to be a great tool for characterizing electrically active majority carrier traps in semiconductors [1]. The fundamental principle of DLTS ...

The researchers said reverse bias could be caused by shading or debris or detritus on the module surface. Image: UNSW Sydney Perovskite solar cells are susceptible to severe reverse bias challenges ...
