What are the advantages of collector to base biased?

it converts it to a diode. sometimes this is done for matching the characteristics of diodes and transistors in the circuit. standard diodes might not have similar enough curves to the transistors for the circuit to operate correctly.


What are the vi characteristics of ideal diodes?

Zero current flow when reverse biased, zero voltage drop when forward biased.


What are the differences between power diode and signal diode?

Simple diode is a two-terminal pn-junction with appropriate contacts for connecting the junction to external circuits. Power diode is formed by alloying, diffusion, and epitaxial growth. The modern techniques in semiconductor fabrication processes permit the desired device characteristics. The operation of power diodes is similar to that of signal diodes; but it has larger power-, voltage-, and current-handling capabilities than those of ordinary diodes. Switching speed of the power diodes is low compared to that of signal diodes.


How transistor work as a diode?

A: Actually a transistor have two diode with the base mas a common terminal. the characteristics of these tow diodes however are not the same as a common diode


What is the difference between series and parallel diodes?

Connecting diodes in series:Connecting diodes in series will increase the forward voltage of the resultant diode.Connecting diodes in series will cause an open circuit until peak inverse voltage (smallest diode) is applied on total resultant.Connecting diodes in parallel:Connecting diodes in parallel will increase the current carrying capacity of the diode.Connecting diodes in parallel will not get you a resultant diode conduction in both sides.

How can you designed transistor using diode because no available transistor?

You cannot build a transistor with two diodes. Even though the static junction characteristics of a transistor "looks like" two back to back series diodes, there is a relationship between the two junctions that cannot be matched by just connecting two diodes together.


What are the major classification of diodes?

1. general purpose diodes 2. fast recovery diodes 3. schottky diodes

Why would you use silicon diodes instead of germanium?

Though germanium diodes were the first ones fabricated, several factors make silicon the choice vs. germanium diodes. Silicon diodes have a greater ease of processing, lower cost, greater power handling, less leakage and more stable temperature characteristics than germanium diodes. Germanium diodes' lower forward drop (.2V to .3V versus .7V to 1.0V) make them better at small signal detection and rectification.


What are examples of diodes?

There are so many different types of diodes. Some of the common examples include light emitting diodes, silicon diodes, zener diodes and so many more.


Are diodes rectifiers?

No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.


When was The Diodes created?

The Diodes was created in 1977.


When did The Diodes end?

The Diodes ended in 1982.

What are the classifications of diodes?

a diode is a device that alows current to flow in one direction you have power diodes which are used in rectification processes and high current operations but the two main families of diodes are solid state diodes or valve operated diodes.
