PIN diodes are ideal for transmit-receive (TR) switches because of a favorable blend of cost, size, and switching speed. Although the PIN diode in the transmit (Tx) arm can be connected as either ...

Any PN junction diode can be used as a variable capacitor in reverse biased mode, as well as in the forward biased mode before the knee voltage. The capacitance is usually very small as the junction ...

Researchers have developed a capacitor with a metal-insulator-semiconductor diode structure that is tunable by illumination. The capacitor, which features embedded metal nanoparticles, is similar to a ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation (AKM) launches a fractional-N PLL IC, the AK1574. A built-in VCO saves space, has low-phase noise, and low-power consumption. Uses include ...

Toshiba has launched a new ESD protection diode, the DF2B7M3SC, with the lowest 0.1pF capacitance in its class. Scheduled for mass production in July 2013, the module is designed to protect USB3.0/2.0 ...
