This is a guest article by Adrian Mikolajczak of Fairchild Semiconductor. Reverse polarity, which is the result of a steady-state reverse bias or a negative transient, can cause serious problems in an ...
Members can download this article in PDF format. Power systems employ diodes to perform a variety of functions. For example, diodes can protect against damage due to power-source reverse-polarity ...
Most test setups need only positive voltages to power the device under test (DUT). Some devices require negative voltages as well. Test voltages aren’t always fixed, though. Their value and/or ...
