Diodes topics include: The basics of diode, types of diodes which includes zener diode and others, limiting and clamping circuits, rectifiers and characteristics of junction diode and diode forward characteristics modelling. A diode is an electronic component that allows electricity to flow in one direction. Diodes are also known as "rectifiers". Diodes are made of two electrodes, called the anode and the cathode, and are usually made from semiconductor materials like silicon, germanium, or selenium. Some diodes have metal electrodes in a chamber filled with a pure elemental gas at low...

Diodes are made of two electrodes, called the anode and the cathode, and are usually made from semiconductor materials like silicon, germanium, or selenium. Some diodes have metal electrodes in a chamber filled with a pure elemental gas at low pressure. Diodes can: Regulate the flow of electricity Maintain a constant voltage Extract signals from radio waves Protect circuits by limiting the voltage Transform AC into DC Diodes are classified according to their characteristics and come in many different types, including rectifiers, switching diodes, and Schottky. When selecting a diode, you can consider things like: Forward conduction pressure drop Rated current Maximum average rectified current Maximum surge current Maximum reverse peak voltage Maximum reverse voltage Maximum operating frequency Reverse recovery time Show less
