IC references are popular with circuit designers because they are accurate and exhibit low drift. Some of my future columns will cover the three types of IC references: buried zener, bandgap, and XFET ...

For the longest time, Zener diode regulators have been one of those circuits that have been widely shared and highly misunderstood. First timers have tried to use it to power up their experiments and ...

There are times when you need to bias a low-current load and simply didn’t want to add another voltage regulator, or where you need a reasonable level of voltage accuracy, so a simple voltage divider ...

The Zener diode is similar to a general-purpose signal diode which consists of a silicon PN junction. It is a special kind of diode in which current is allowed to flow in the forward direction in the ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, ...

Diodes Incorporated has introduced a low-dropout linear regulator capable of generating the bus termination voltages needed by DDR 2, 3, 3L and 4 SDRAM memory systems. Diodes Incorporated has ...

Diodes has created a quiet low-drop out (LDO) linear regulator for powering ADCs, DACs, VCOs and phase-locked loops. “With up to 90dB PSRR [power supply ripple rejection], and output noise at 8μVrms, ...

Diodes Incorporated has unveiled a positive voltage regulator that offers ultra-low quiescent current and high accuracy, making it suited for use in a variety of applications, ranging from USB and ...
