A diode is a two-terminal device‚ having two active electrodes‚ between which it allows the transfer of current in one direction only. Diodes are known for their unidirectional current property‚ wherein‚ the electric current is allowed to flow in one direction. Basically‚ diodes are used for the purpose of rectifying waveforms‚ and can be used within power supplies or within radio detectors. They can also be used in circuits where ’one way’ effect of diode is required. Most diodes are made from semiconductors

We can simulate this by showing the input terminal connected to Vcc through a switch: In this case‚ diode D1 will be reverse-biased‚ and therefore not conduct any current. In fact‚ the only purpose for having D1 in the circuit is to prevent transistor damage in the case of a negative voltage being impressed on the input (a voltage that is negative‚ rather

Diodes‚ which are integral components in almost all electronic devices‚ are essentially two pin semiconductor devices which possess the ability to conduct current unidirectionally. Diodes are highly versatile and find numerous applications in various disciplines. Some of the noteworthy applications of Diodes include 1. Rectification 2. Wave Shaping 3. Frequency Multiplier Circuits 4. Voltage Multiplier Circuits 5. Signal Mixers 6. Switches 7. Tuning Let us examine each of these applications

III.8. THE TUNNEL DIODE 1. Theory The Japanese physicist Leo Esaki invented the tunnel diode in 1958. It consists of a p-n junction with highly doped regions. Because of the thinness of the junction‚ the electrons can pass through the potential barrier of the dam layer at a suitable polarization‚ reaching the energy states on the other sides of the junction. The current-voltage characteristic of the diode is represented in Figure 1. In this sketch i p and U p are the peak‚ and iv and U v are

Session 1999 WHAT IS A SCHOTTKY DIODE? The Schottky diode is an important device which is widely used in radio-frequency (RF) applications. It possesses many similarities to the point-contact diode. In fact many of the early devices were made in the same way as a point-contact diode‚ although today’s devices are made with totally different manufacturing techniques. Unlike conventional semiconductor diodes‚ which consist of a PN junction‚ the Schottky diode is made from a metal semiconductor
