Schottky Diode Working Principle

What is a Schottky Diode? A Schottky diode, also known as a hot carrier diode, is a semiconductor diode which

A laser diode, or LD also known as injection laser diode or ILD, is an electrically pumped semiconductor laser in

A photodiode is a semiconductor device that converts light into current. The current is generated when photons are absorbed in

The photodiode is a device that operates in reverse bias, as shown in Figure. where Ia is the reverse light

Over Heat Of Resistor Resistors are probably the most robust of all electronic components, with high reliability and a long

A resistor is one of the most fundamental components in electronics. Its purpose is to impede a flow of current

The symbol for an LED is shown in Figure. The basic operation of the light-emitting diode (LED) is as follows.

The junction capacitance of diodes varies with the amount of reverse bias. Varactor diodes are specially designed to take advantage of

Zener diodes can be used in ac applications to limit voltage swings to desired levels. Below Figures shows three basic ways

The zener diode can be used as a type of voltage regulator for providing stable reference voltages. In this section, you
