What is zener dioide?

Zener diode can be defined as diode which allows current to flow in the forward direction in the same method as an ideal diode, but will also allow it to flow in reverse direction when the voltage is above definite value known as the breakdown voltage


How does a simple diode clamping circuit work?

A diode clamp, also often called simply a clamper, works by limiting electric current to a single direction and stops the signal from going beyond the reference. They can be either positive or negative, and biased or unbiased.


What is the tUnnel diode?

A thin junction diode which exhibits negative resistance under low forward bias condition is known as tunnel diode.


What is tunnel diode?

A thin junction diode which exhibits negative resistance under low forward bias condition is known as tunnel diode.


What is a zener diod?

A Zener diode is a type of diode that sends current in the forward way like a normal diode, but also in the reverse direction if there is voltage that is larger than the breakdown voltage which is also known as "Zener voltage". The apparatus was named after Clarence Zener, who discovered this electrical property.


What is the symbol of esaki diode?

The symbol for the esaki diode, also known as the tunnel diode, is similar to the zener diode, except that the two stems on the end of the cathode both point back towards the anode, and they are at 90 degrees instead of 45 degrees. For more information, and a picture, please see the related link below.


What is verector diode in electronics?

I think you you are asking about varactor diode. varactor means variable capacitor. varactor diode is a p-n junction diode which provide a capacitance across it subjected to applied forward and reverse bias. means it provide variable capacitance which depends on the applied reverse voltage(mostly varactor diode works on reverse voltage).They are also known as varicap
