Voltage Multipliers - Voltage Doublers, Triplers and Quadruplers Voltage multipliers is a modified capacitor filter circuit that delivers a dc voltage twice or more times of the peak value (amplitude)…
What is Surge Current? - Definition and Workings Before switching on of power supply, the filter capacitor is uncharged [Fig. 9.23]. At the instant the power supply is switched on,…
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…
Up Down Circuit Analysis: Any circuit has independent variables (such as source voltages and branch resistances) and dependent variables (such as voltage drop across resistors, current and power). Determination of…
Difference between Zener Breakdown and Avalanche Breakdown: The difference between Zener Breakdown and Avalanche Breakdown is given in table below Zener Breakdown Avalanche Breakdown This is observed in zener diodes…
Explain Steady State Conditions in Semiconductor: Explain Steady State Conditions in Semiconductor - When the P-N junction is forward biased, current flows quite freely P to N in a P-N…
Metal Semiconductor Junctions: Metal semiconductor junctions are very common in all semiconductor devices and are very important. Depending upon the doping concentration, materials, and the characteristics of the interface, the…
Basic Structure of PN Junction in Semiconductor: Most semiconductor devices employ one or more P-N junctions. The P-N junction is the control element for the performance of all semiconductor devices…
