For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a supercurrent to flow in both directions. Published in Nature Physics, the ...

A massive Virginia data center project was shelved after residents balked, demonstrating a willingness to push back against what had seemed like unstoppable momentum in the sector. Diode Ventures, a ...

Opposite to documentation in reference guide and parameter definition in N_DEV_Diode.C the diode knee current parameter IKF is not scaled with instance area factor. The diagram show the diode current ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) is fast becoming a foundational technology in power electronics, offering higher power density and better efficiency than traditional silicon. By bringing faster switching speeds ...

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

Many hobbies seem to have a subset of participants who just can’t leave well enough alone. Think about hot rodders, who squeeze every bit of power out of engines they can, or PC overclockers, who ...

The superconducting diode effect allows for nonreciprocal, dissipationless transport. It has the potential to enhance transfer current efficiency compared to the traditional semiconducting equivalent ...

Different reverse-polarity solutions and their effectiveness at providing car battery front-end protection. How a smart diode controller can provide optimal reverse-battery protection. If the battery ...

Engineers can now simulate and analyze power and signal-chain products from Texas Instruments Inc. much faster thanks to a custom version of the PSpice simulator from Cadence Design Systems Inc. This ...

Abstract: An accurate physics based model for power PiN diodes is derived and implemented as a subcircuit into the PSPICE circuit simulator. The model is based on an equivalent circuit representation ...
