Computer science is a discipline that spans theory and practice. It requires thinking both in abstract terms and in concrete terms. Computer Science is practiced by mathematicians, scientists and engineers. Mathematics, the origins of Computer Science, provides reason and logic.
Diode Resistance Formula. The resistance of diodes is equal to the below formula: Diode resistance is equal to the thermal voltage, VT, divided by the current, Id, passing through the diode. The thermal voltage of the diode is approximately 25mV at 300K, which is a temperature that is very close to room temperature. The precise formula to calculate thermal voltage is: VT= kT/q.
Basic power supply current limiting circuit The circuit of this diode current limiter for a power supply is particularly simple. The value of the series resistor can be calculated so that the voltage across it rises to 0.6 volts (the turn on voltage for a silicon diode) when the maximum current is reached.
