Diodes are one of the most important parts of any electronics project, and if you don't understand how they work you'll destroy any electronics project you work on. Thankfully, Adafruit has a video ...

In most circuits the photo diode is reverse biased, so that charge is carried by extrinsic charge carriers. The response time of a photo diode is typically 250 nano seconds.

Discover the science behind diodes — the tiny components that control the flow of electricity. Learn how they let current pass in one direction, block it in the other, and power everything from ...

Two of these were diode types. More examples of Williams VFC designs incorporating diode pumps are detailed in his fascinating (and entertaining!) narrative of his creative design process: “ The Zoo ...
