constant-current diode
1Constant current diode — Circuit Constant current diode (also called CLD, current limiting diode, constant current diode, diode connected transistor or CRD,current regulating diode) consists of a JFET with the gate shorted to the source, and it functions like a two… …
2Current source — Figure 1: An ideal current source, I, driving a resistor, R, and creating a voltage V A current source is an electrical or electronic device that delivers or absorbs electric current. A current source is the dual of a voltage source. The term… …

4Current mirror — A current mirror is a circuit designed to copy a current through one active device by controlling the current in another active device of a circuit, keeping the output current constant regardless of loading. The current being copied can be, and… …
5Diode bridge — Three bridge rectifiers. The size is generally related to the current handling capability …
6Light-emitting diode — LED redirects here. For other uses, see LED (disambiguation). Light emitting diode Red, pure green and blue LEDs of the 5mm diffused type Type Passive, optoelectronic Working principle Electr …
7Widlar current source — A Widlar current source is a modification of the basic two transistor current mirror that incorporates an emitter degeneration resistor for only the output transistor, enabling the current source to generate low currents using only moderate… …
8Voltage-to-current converter — Introduction For a variety of reasons, in low voltage electronics, voltage is a more frequently used data carrier. Thus electronic devices tend to be labeled with voltage inputs and outputs. However some devices are labeled in terms of current… …
9High-voltage direct current — HVDC or high voltage, direct current electric power transmission systems contrast with the more common alternating current systems as a means for the bulk transmission of electrical power. The modern form of HVDC transmission uses technology… …
10Step recovery diode — In electronics, a Step recovery diode (SRD) is a semiconductor junction diode having the ability to generate extremely short pulses. It is also called Snap off diode or charge storage diode or memory varactor, and has a variety of uses in… …
