In a previous article, we explored the behavior of an LED diode as a small light source. We have seen how important a protection resistor is to light up this component. In this article, we will ...

The AL8866Q, an automotive-compliant LED driver from Diodes Inc., is designed to drive an external MOSFET. The DC-switching LED driver-controller supports buck, boost, buck-boost, and SEPIC topologies ...

The polarity markings on LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) seem to be a common cause of confusion. The polarity may be indicated by a flat section on one side of the body or by one lead being shorter than ...

What Is A Light-Emitting Diode? A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current flows through it. LEDs function by converting electrical current into ...

IEE announced in December that DenBaars would receive the Nick Holonyak, Jr. Medal for Semiconductor Optoelectronic Technologies, one of twenty-plus high honors given by IEEE for 2026. The award will ...

I don’t know about you, but although I like reading about electronics in a theoretical sort of way, there’s nothing I enjoy more than the hands-on building of something and then watching that thing ...

Physicists in Japan have made a diode that emits light at the shortest wavelength ever. The device, made by Yoshitaka Taniyasu and colleagues at NTT Basic Research Laboratories in Atsugi, is made from ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Pittsburgh demonstrated a programmable superconducting diode at the ...
