A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

“Ground bounce” is the amount that a ground return rises or falls relative to the system's 0V reference, and, in a dc/dc-switching converter, ground bounce can be many volts, often because of changing ...

Board-level designers often have concerns about the proper way to handle grounding for integrated circuits (ICs) which have separate analog and digital grounds. Should the two be completely separate ...

There are two main types of electrical current that flow through your home: Alternating and direct. The vast majority of devices around you are powered by alternating current. By allowing electrons to ...

Based on presentation to NACE Corrosion 2010 conference, San Antonio, Mar. 14-18, 2010. Currents from high-voltage direct current faults can damage underground-underwater pipelines. This type of DC ...
