A zener diode is invariably used with?
Reverse bias
Which region zener diode can be used as regulator?
Reverse Bias
Which diode is used in frequency tuning application?
The varactor diode is used in frequency tuning applications. Its effective capacitance is a function of the reverse bias voltage across it.
Why Schottky diodes are used in wave shaping circuits?
Schottky diodes are often used for RF radio frequency applications as a mixer or detector diode. Another common application for the Schottky diode is in power applications as a rectifier.
Will a zener diode work the same as a germanium diode?
No. An ordinary diode, be it silicon or germanium, conducts in one direction only, whereas a zener diode conducts in both directions, but at different voltages. An ordinary diode is used to rectify, using its forward bias characteristics, while a zener diode is used to regulate, using its reverse bias characteristics.
Which diode used for voltage controlled capacitor?
Varactor didoe is used as voltage controlled capacitor.it is generally used in reverse bias condition.
Which diode used for signal amplification zener or schottky or tunnel or none?
The diode that has a negative resistance region in its voltage-current curve.
What is the explanation for the vi characteristics of p-n junction?
The VI characteristics of PN junction diode when used as a diode rectifier are reverse bias and rectification is shown by an asymmetrical current flow.
What does the term PIV for a diode refer to?
Peak Inverse Voltage, the maximum reverse bias (inverse) voltage that can be applied to the diode without damaging or destroying it. The work "peak" is used to remind you that when using the diode to rectify AC (or arbitrary waveforms) you must use the peak voltage, not the RMS voltage.
Why high value resistor used in reverse bias diode circuit?
In a reverse bias condition of a circuit current initially remains the same for low voltage but at the breakdown voltage current increases fast even for a small increase in voltage.hence.........
What is the behavior of a forward and reverse biased diode?
Forward Resistance:def: It is resistance offered by diode to the forward bias is known as forward resistance.This resistance is not the same for the flow of DC as for the changing current. Accordingly this resistance is of two types :1. DC FORWARD RESISTANCE.2. AC FORWARD RESISTANCE.1. DC forward resistance: It is the opposition by diode to the DC. It is measured by the ratio of DC voltages across the diode to the resulting DC current through it.2. AC forward resistance: It is the opposition offered by the diode to the changing current. It is measured by the ratio of change in voltage across diodes to the resulting change in current through diode. The AC forward resistance is more significant as the diodes are generally used with alternating voltage.Reverse Resistance:def: The resistance offered by the diode to the reverse bias is known as Reverse Resistance. It can be DC reverse resistance or AC reverse resistance depending upon whether the reverse bias is direct or changing voltage. Idealy the reverse resistance of a diode is infinte however in practice the reverse resistance is not infinite because for any value of reverse bias, there does exist a small leakage current. It may be emphasized their that reverse resistance is very large compared to the forward resistance.These Definitions are from PRINCIPLES OF ELECTRONICS by V.K MEHTA and ROHIT MEHTA
How can you make a bypass diode?
the diode is forward bias ANSWER: A bypass diode is used to bypass circuitry as soon as the diode is forward bias by 0.6 volts The use it to bypass to prevent damage to the circuitry
