Reverse engineering has given us extensive die photography of integrated circuits, but there remain ... as he cross-sections a 20KV high-voltage diode. A conventional low-voltage silicon diode ...

First he guaranteed he was working with a DC power source by inserting a small full-wave bridge rectifier ... he used some 1978 vintage current limiting diodes designed to pass 2mA each regardless ...

At the same time, the rectifiers ... at higher current ratings. The devices are intended for low voltage, high frequency inverters, DC/DC converters, freewheeling diodes, and polarity and ...
