What we really want is an ideal diode with zero voltage drop. Sadly, such a thing does not exist; however, there is a type of diode with a lower voltage drop — the Schottky diode. What we really want ...

LTspice is equipped with circuit diagram capture and waveform viewer functions that make it possible for designers to check and verify in advance whether the circuit operation has been achieved as ...

In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...

And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...
