Different applications of diode include:
0a79 ( germanium diode )in glass construction form is used in AM detector circuits.
The varactor diode is used in frequency tuning applications. Its effective capacitance is a function of the reverse bias voltage across it.
SILICON same as any other diode but with different characteristics
There are thousands of different zener diode types...use the internet to locate a data sheet for a particular type.
No - a fuse is designed as a safety device - to operate within a specific range. It performs a completely different function to a diode.
0a79 ( germanium diode )in glass construction form is used in AM detector circuits.
Applications of Zener diode: a.)It Regulators. b.)It Controlled Comparators. c.)It Limiters. d.)It is Part in Power Supplies.
A: When? it all started with diode gates in the very early 50 now days gates are made from different material for different applications. Silicon, metal oxide
zener diode :zener diode operates under reverse bias voltageideal diode :ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
The varactor diode is used in frequency tuning applications. Its effective capacitance is a function of the reverse bias voltage across it.
The silicon diode (unless its a Schottky diode) conducts at approximately 0.6 volts. The germanium diode, however, conducts at a much lower voltage, typically 0.2 volts. This means that the germanium diode is better at small signal rectification applications, such as AM radio detectors, allowing a smaller tuner tank circuit.
A Photo-diode is used to receive light. whereas the L.E.D. is a Light Emitting Diode.
The dynamic resistance of a diode, be it zener or otherwise, will be different from its static resistance because a diode is not a resistor, and resistance is not a function of current flow. It is a diode, and a diode has its own characteristic voltage to current curve, forward and, in the case of a zener, reverse.
SILICON same as any other diode but with different characteristics
If the reverse recovery time of the diode is too long for the operating frequency, the diode will never turn off.
A diode is used as a rectifier, clipper and to get square wave form. The combination of diode (bridge) is used for full wave rectification. It also used as a voltage controlar. Different types of diodes have different uses in different appliences.
