    Half-wave rectifier issue

    Hello, I have been experimenting with half wave rectifiers but I am having an issue and would like to see if anyone can help me troubleshoot it, or if I am completely wrong and need a different circuit. I want to only let positive voltage go through my circuit and get rid of all the negative...

    Shouldn’t forward bias theoretically increase the depletion region?

    With a reverse biased diode, the electrons get pushed from the - terminal towards the junction on P side and combine with holes near the junction, making the depletion layer increased on P side simultaneously the + terminal of the battery pulls the electrons into the + terminal leaving the N...

    Ps4 pro zapped components..

    Are those two mosfets still good even if they're burnt transparent? Is that ceramic fuse or is it a chemical directory like diodes and mosfets? I'm in school for electronics but I don't have a multimeter yet to indicate it myself. Can someone please help me identify the three damaged components...

    Using diodes to increase voltage drop in LED string ?

    Hi all and thanks in advance for your time ! I am currently designing an LED light sources that has 4 individual strings of LEDs, to be controlled by a commercial constant current machine vision driver (Smartek HPSC4). One of the strings has significantly less LEDs than the others (3 vs 8, 9...

    Different readings when testing a diode on-board and off-board

    Hello, I have a two identical PCBs (one faulty and one non-faulty). The PCB has a buck converter (AOZ1212) to convert 24V to 4.5V. This converter uses a Schottky diode as flyback/freewheeling diode. When I was debugging the faulty board, this diode read 0.2V in forward bias, and 2.3V in reverse...

    Understanding a DC Power Supply

    Need help in understanding how this works. In the attached schematic is shown the DC voltage measurements at top of C12 and C13 relative to “b” to be 11.46 volts and 5.4 volts. This means the current through R20 must be 0.0033 amps. However, this amperage through R18, the only DC source to...

    Effect of load in double limiter diode Circuit

    Hi i design in multisim a douple limiters circuit with two diode and two dc source from the simulation i see that the load resistor effect the output waveform in the case of big load (10 kΩ) the output wave form is between V1+0.7 ,, -V2-0.7 this not happen...

    Newbie Question: Use of diodes to isolate multiple relay NO outputs

    Hi Folks, I've installed ten 220VAC LED floodlights to the outside of a property. They are powered via 12VDC-220VAC relays. The relays are controlled via 'Smart Outputs' on an intruder alarm system (IAS) using a dedicated output card. The output card has 8, 12VDC relays, of which, 4 are...

    What SMD component is this?

    This is from an adblue ecu circuit for Citroen/ Peugeot cars. I need help identifying these components. Thanks for all your replies! The first one has 3 pins with the letters CG and a Y that's horizontal (on another board it shows CG with a U that's horizontal). The second one that's...

    Maximum input voltage a diode can handle

    Dear Team, May I know how to find the maximum input voltage a didode can handle.I checked many datasheets no info about this. Can I apply any voltage greater than it's forward voltage. Regards HARI

    LTspice - added diode models not listed.

    Standard.dio (diode models) (https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/attachments/standard-txt.65504/) This is an updated version of the diode models file, which includes the 1N4001 diode, which is what i'm after. I replaced the file in /cmp with this one, but the program doesn't list any new diode...

    Sensor(s) to determine if plastic pickleball has hit target

    I made a 4' wide x 3' tall plywood practice wall, and drew an 18" wide x 10" target on the plywood. I would like to make some sort of sensor array that would be positioned about 1.5" off the plywood playing surface and sound a chime each time the 2.75" diameter plastic pickle ball tripped one...
