A recent forum post reminded me of a common issue we see here at Screaming Circuits – ambiguous diode polarity marking. To start with, some diode manufactures mess with our heads where polarity ...
Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...
The PCB fabrication and assembly industry does have standards, but enough people don’t follow these standards that the manufacturers are obliged to assume that no one does The PCB fabrication and ...
A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.
