Diode Clipping Circuits
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/diode-clipping-circuits/
Diode Clipping Circuits The diode clipper is an electronic circuit consisting of a diode(s) that clips or cuts off an input signal. The output of the clipping circuit depends on the diode orientation and input signal. Such a circuit is termed, Diode Clipper. The clipped-off signal produced at the output becomes flat when a certain […]
The Zener Diode
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/the-zener-diode/
The Zener Diode A diode is the simplest form of a semiconductor device in which P-type and N-type semiconductors are fused together to form a PN junction. Around this PN junction, a depletion layer is formed having opposite ions. The Zener diode is a type of diode and the basic difference between a simple diode […]
Full Wave Rectifier and Bridge Rectifier
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/full-wave-rectifier-and-bridge-rectifier/
Full-Wave Rectifier The rectifier is an electrical circuit that converts alternating current into direct current. As discussed in the previous article, the half-wave rectifier converts only the half-cycles of the alternating current either positive or negative depending upon the orientation of the diode. It was also discussed that the efficiency of the half-wave rectifier is […]
Power Diodes and Rectifiers
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/power-diodes-and-rectifiers/
Power Diodes and Rectifiers The diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow in only one direction when it is forward biased and blocks the current in reverse bias condition. This has been explained in the previous article of “The Signal Diode”. This feature of the diode resembles a switch or valve and […]
The Signal Diode
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/the-signal-diode/
The signal diode is a semiconductor device that is based on the PN junction theory, previously described in the article. It is the simplest, non-linear semiconductor device and is found in almost every electronic circuit. As we learned from the previous article, two currents can flow in the PN junction namely diffusion and drift current. […]
