The most common function of a diode is to let the electric current run in one direction (known as the diode’s forward direction), even as it blocks the flow in the other/ opposite direction (aka the reverse). In a manner of speaking, the diode is an electronic version of the check ...
A diode is a semiconductor device that has two terminals, an anode and a cathode, and allows current to flow only in one direction (from the anode to the cathode, known as the forward direction). Current does not flow in the reverse direction, except for special cases, such as when a ...
Avalanche noise is relatively limited in its generation. Zener diodes and other forms of microwave diode that use avalanche breakdown as part of the mechanism of their operation will generate this form of noise. For Zener diodes it can normally be removed quite easily by filtering. For microwave...

Avalanche diode. Zener diode. Schottky diode. Photodiode. PN junction diode. What is diode current? The diode current equation expresses the relationship between the current flowing through the diode as a function of the voltage applied across it. Mathematically the diode current equation can be ex...
Arrangement in TRAPATT Diode In addition to the two main operating modes described above, avalanche diodes can also operate in harmonic, parametric, static, and thermal modes. III Generation Process of Microwave Oscillations If an alternating voltage is added on the reverse voltage of the diode, ...
The avalanche voltage can range from a few volts up to several hundred volts. When an analog signal passes through a diode operating at or near its forward breakover point, the signal waveform is distorted. This nonlinearity enables modulation, demodulation and signal mixing. In addition, signals...
If a voltage exceeding the absolute maximum rated drain-source voltage VDSS is applied to the MOSFET, it will enter the breakdown region and will be destroyed. However, some products allow VDSS to be exceeded under the prescribed co
Current is produced in the photodiode when photons are absorbed and a small amount of current is also produced when there is no light present. With increase of the surface area, photodiodes have slower response times. Photodiode technology has been successfully and widely used due to its simple...
