Fast Recovery Diode (FRD): Fast recovery diode are designed to provide ultrahigh switching speed. The devices can be classified into two types : diffused P-N junction diodes and metal semiconductor…
Switching Diode in Electronics: In discussing the rectifier diodes, the importance of reducing the reverse-bias current and the power losses under forward bias to the minimum was emphasized. But in…
Transition and Diffusion Capacitance: Transition and Diffusion Capacitance - Electronic devices are inherently sensitive to very high frequencies. Most shunt capacitive effects that can be ignored at lower frequencies due…
Quantitative Theory of PN Junction Diode: Quantitative Theory of PN Junction Diode - Here an expression for the total current will be derived as a function of the applied voltage…
Continuity Equation in Semiconductor: The Continuity Equation in Semiconductor states a condition of dynamic equilibrium for the concentration of mobile carriers in any elementary volume of the semiconductor. In Fig.…
What is Intrinsic Semiconductor? An intrinsic semiconductor is one which is made of the semiconductor material in its extremely pure form. A semiconductor is not truly intrinsic unless its impurity…
What is Resistor in Electronics? What is Resistor in Electronics? - Resistance is a dissipative element, which converts electrical energy into heat, when the current flows through it in any…
What is Active Components and Passive Components? All electronic circuits, however complicated, contain a few basic components (generally speaking, only five)—three passive and two active components. Though passive components by…
