Series Diode Configurations with DC Inputs: The approximate models discussed in preceding section are used for investigation of a number of series diode configurations with dc inputs. This establishes a…
What is Real Diode? As already mentioned, an actual diode neither behaves as a perfect conductor when forward biased nor as a perfect insulator when reverse biased. When a diode…
What is Diode Resistance? What is Diode Resistance? - As already discussed, a forward-biased diode conducts easily whereas a reverse-biased diode restrains the flow of current, so a diode has…
Effect of temperature on PN diode characteristics: Temperature on PN diode characteristics is very important consideration in the analysis or design of electronic devices or systems. It affects virtually all…
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…
Current Components in PN Junction Diode: A Current Components in PN Junction Diode with a forward bias with an external voltage V is shown in Fig. 7.12 (a). Due to…
Breakdown Voltage of PN Junction Diode: When an ordinary P-N junction diode is reverse biased, normally only very small reverse saturation current flows. This current is due to movement of…
Diode Failure Modes and Causes: We would certainly like for solid-state components to be 100% reliable but this is unfortunately not true. All solid-state devices have a certain probability of…
