In a parallel connection, silicon and germanium diodes can serve to improve the performance of a circuit by providing redundancy and enhancing current handling capabilities. Silicon diodes generally have a higher voltage drop and better thermal stability compared to germanium diodes, which have a lower forward voltage drop and faster switching times. By connecting them in parallel, the circuit can benefit from the strengths of both materials, allowing for efficient operation across a wider range of conditions. This configuration can also help distribute current load and prevent overheating in high-current applications.
What else can I help you with?
Is silicon a semiconductor?
Yes,silicon and germanium are semiconductors.
What is a transister make of?
it is made of silicon or germanium.
Why don't use germanium in silicon controlled rectifier?
the leakage current of silicon is less when compared with the leakage current of germanium.. hence scr's are made up of silicon than germanium.. hope tis one is useful to u all!- Vignesh.L(engineer, 1st year)
Transistors Basic material of?
silicon ang germanium there are two types of transistor \ 1. PNP 2. NPN silicon ang germanium there are two types of transistor \ 1. PNP 2. NPN
What type of diode is proper to used silicon and germanium?
A: They both have redeemable quality. Germanium has lower turn on voltage as compared to silicon however their current capability is not too great and also have a problem leaking with temperature. SO THE USE IS DEPENDENT ON APPLICATIONS
