Difference between gunn diode and pin diode?

Which type of diode used in bridge rectifier?

You can use most diodes for that purpose, and particularly silicon diodes. However, you should not use zener diodes and similar for rectification purposes. Otherwise, you will likely not get the intended result. If the voltage exceeds the avalanche voltage, then the zener diode will no longer rectify, but conduct the other way as well.


What is punchthrough in PIN diode?

Punchthrough in a PIN diode refers to a condition where the applied reverse bias voltage becomes high enough to deplete the intrinsic region entirely, allowing carriers to "punch through" from the p-type to the n-type regions. This phenomenon can lead to an increase in current flow, potentially damaging the diode if the voltage exceeds its breakdown limits. Punchthrough is typically undesirable in applications where the diode is expected to operate normally in reverse bias, as it can affect the diode's performance and reliability.


How do you know positive pin of transistor?

To identify the positive pin of a transistor, you can refer to its datasheet, which provides pin configurations for specific transistor models. For bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), the positive pin is typically the collector for NPN transistors and the emitter for PNP transistors. Additionally, in a circuit, you can use a multimeter in diode mode to test the connections: the base will show a forward voltage drop when connected to the positive lead of the multimeter.


Is adc present on chip in 8051 or not?

There is no formal adc input on the 8051. However, the CMOS version of the chip can use a technique involving a resistor, diode, and capacitor, along with a bidirectional pin (or one output pin and one input pin) to implement a "quick and dirty" adc function. You discharge the capacitor and then let it charge to the voltage of the input. You measure the time it takes to see the input pin change, and you calculate the input voltage.

Why is Avalanche photo diode used when compared to PIN diode?

The output current of a PIN diode is proportional to the light incident . Whereas in APD due to internal multiplication (Avalanche multiplication) of primary photocurrent, higher gains are possible. A small signal current output from the pin diode are to be amplified before applying to next associated receiver circuit. This includes thermal noise in the main signal, giving lower, receiver sensitivity. In case of APD, photocurrent is multiplied before encountering the thermal noise amplifier, giving increased receiver sensitivity.

Because they work well at high frequencies. Actually, they also work well at low frequencies, but why use an expensive PIN diode when a cheap FET would do.

My 2000 Nissan Altima has a relay at the ECM How do I check this 4 pin relay 1 and 2 is resistance and 3 and 5 are normal open The socket has a 12 vdc wire?

to properly test relay you must have relay in circuit apply voltage to pin 1 if there is no diode there will not be a polarity issue. if there is a diode you must apply voltage to proper pin or you will have a short circuit. apply ground to pin 2 with coil energized there will be continuity across the other pins when voltage or ground is denied there will be no continuity. to properly test relay you must have relay in circuit apply voltage to pin 1 if there is no diode there will not be a polarity issue. if there is a diode you must apply voltage to proper pin or you will have a short circuit. apply ground to pin 2 with coil energized there will be continuity across the other pins when voltage or ground is denied there will be no continuity.


Why in 8085 36 pin has barr?

Pin 36 on the 8085 is RESET-IN/. There is a bar (/) to indicate that this is a negative logic (low=true) pin. Typically, you connect an RC network to pin 36 (1uF to GND, 75KOhm to Vcc, and small signal diode (1N914) across the capacitor with anode on pin 36) which creates a reset pulse at Vcc power on. The diode is used to force discharge on power off, ensuring a reset sequence when power glitches.
