IR Emitters or Infrared-emitting diodes: IR Emitters or Infrared-emitting diodes are solid-state gallium arsenide devices that emit a beam of radiant flux when forward biased. Fig. 25.53 depicts the basic…
Avalanche Photodiode - Definition, Basic Structure and Workings: The avalanche photodiode is similar to the P-N or PIN photodiode except that it is operated at high reverse-bias voltages so that…
Pin Photodiode - Definition, Working and Applications: The PIN photodiode is one of the most common photodetectors, since the depletion-region thickness (intrinsic layer) can be tailored to optimize the quantum…
Diode Clamping Circuit - Positive and Negative Clamping: Diode Clamping Circuit - A circuit that places either the +ve or -ve peak of a signal at a desired level is…
Diode Clipping Circuit - Types and Applications: Diode Clipping Circuit - For a clipping circuit at least two components—an ideal diode and resistor are required and sometimes a dc battery…
What is Diode Transistor Logic (DTL) Circuit? Diode Transistor Logic (DTL) is also a saturated logic and uses diodes, resistors and transisÂtors. The circuit diagram is shown in Fig. 47.2.…
How to use a Transistor as a Diode - Working and Equation: The transistor can be modified to operate as a diode by short circuiting the two transistor terminals, as…
Baritt diode - Working and Applications: The barrier-inject transit time (BARITT) diode is basically a back-to-back pair of diodes biased into reach-through condition. It belongs to the transit-time microwave diode…
