How it works

3 stages · Explore one step at a time

Step 1 / 3

Identify the shared output

Pin 2 and the metal tab are the common cathode.

Step 2 / 3

Apply the two inputs

Current-limited sources connect to anodes 1 and 3, with their negatives joined.

Step 3 / 3

Follow the higher source

The higher anode voltage supplies the load through its forward-biased junction; the other branch blocks apart from leakage.
