These are available in different types which are used based on the requirement. Each type of diode has its own characteristics so that it can be used in specific applications. So, one of the...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Shockley Diode : Working & Its Applications Shockley diode was manufactured & marketed in late 1950 by Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory. The name of this diode was taken from the inventor namely William Bradford Shockley”. This diode was the first device from the thyristor...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Small Signal Diode : Working & Its Applications A diode is one type of semiconductor device that allows the flow of current only in one direction from anode to cathode. So these are used in different application circuits like AC-DC rectifier, logic, AM detection, level-shift, snubbers...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Constant Current Diode : Working & Its Applications A diode is a polarized two-terminal electronic component that conducts the current within a single direction & blocks the flow of current in another direction because, in one direction, its resistance is ideally zero whereas in another...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Vacuum Diode : Working & Its Applications The first vacuum tube which is known as a vacuum diode was invented by a British scientist namely “Sir John Ambrose Fleming” in the year 1904. It is also called a thermionic tube or Fleming valve. This diode is made with vacuum tubes...
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is Diode Test : Working & Its Applications For beginners, they must have knowledge of electronic components & their working to troubleshoot any circuit or project. Similarly, having good knowledge of how to test different components is also one of the troubleshooting skills....
by Tarun Agarwal 2 years ago What is a Switching Diode : Working & Its Applications A diode is one kind of semiconductor device which includes two terminals like an anode and a cathode. The main function of the diode is to allow the current flow in one direction only because it has less resistance in one direction &...
