H. Eccles in Electrician 18 Apr. 475/2 I propose to give the name ‘diode’ to a tube with two electrodes. 1921 W. H. Eccles Contin. Wave Wireless Telegr. i. 257 A bulb with two electrodes, namely, anode and cathode, is called a diode tube. 1921 W. H. Eccles Contin. Wave Wireless Telegr. i. 306 This example shows plainly that two constants are required to define the chief properties of a diode. 1929 J. A. Ratcliffe Physical Princ. Wireless ii. 23 The diode usually consists of a straight wire filament which is heated by an electric current. 1943 C. L. Boltz Basic Radio x. 154 The diode's only use is as a rectifier. By adding another electrode we can increase the utility of the valve. 1944 Electronic Engin. 16 408 C charges through a diode valve. 1955 Sci.

(ed. 5) ix. 7 Logic circuits using diodes may be considered another class of switching applications. 1970 D. F. Shaw Introd. Electronics (ed. 2) xi. 226 The rectifying property of a semi-conductor diode is a consequence of the asymmetrical conduction across the contact between a metal and a semi-conductor.

Electronic Computers 9 16/2 Resistor-transistor logic, though simple and reliable in a component sense, is slower than diode-transistor logic. 1987 J. Millman & A. Grabel Microelectronics (ed. 2) vi. 219 This gate realization is called diode-transistor logic (DTL) and was one of the early semiconductor logic families developed.
