Diodes: they’re small but have a big job to play in various circuits. Switching diodes in particular are indispensable, essential for regulating voltage and processing all the signals our digital world revolves around in work, play, and daily living. Most electronics engineers will have to use them at some point, so why not learn about […]

Switching between Red, Green and Blue (or Blue1 or/and Blue2 for an RGBB type): An RGB LED is a LED which has three (or four for an RGBB type) semi-conductor LED’s in one normal housing i.e. standard 5 mm. The Red LED is made of Gallium Arsenide Phosphide on Gallium Phosphide, the Green LED is
Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) November 4, 2004 A new family of low-power current-mode controllers that provide increased efficiency and flexibility in cost-sensitive power-supply designs was announced today by Siliconix incorporated (NASDAQ: SILI), an 80.4%-owned subsidiary of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH). The first true direct replacements for the industry-standard UCC380x and UCC280x families of
SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB) May 27, 2008 LinkSwitch-II, a new generation in Power Integrations’ extremely successful LinkSwitch series of ICs, simplifies the design of accurate output CV/CC converters by eliminating the need for optocouplers and all secondary-side CV/CC control circuitry as well as all control-loop compensation circuitry. By integrating all control and protection circuitry plus
