What is Difference between peak inverse voltage and break down voltage?

Two names for practically the same condition. Peak inverse is name whereby the maximum voltage can be sustained. Breakdown is actually the point where a reverse voltage is reached and reverse breakdown has occurred


Break down occurs in diode because of?

reverse voltage applied


Explian action of zener diode as a regulator?

Zener predicatively will break down at a voltage as manufactured and sustain that voltage as long as the source can provide the current. The limitation is the zener power dissipation for each device. It Regulates by maintaining that breakdown voltage until its current is reduced or its break down voltage is reduced.


What is the cut in voltage of germanium and silicon diodes?

cut in voltage *** for silicon is 0.7volts and that for germanium is 0.3volts.According to Millman and Taub, "Pulse, Digital and Switching Waveforms", McGraw-Hill 1965, the cutin (or offset, break-point or threshold) voltage for a silicon diode is 0.6, and 0.2 for germanium.Breakdown voltage is another thing entirely. It is the reverse voltage at which the junction will break down.


Does the material of the diode depends on break down voltage?

A Germanium diode has a much lower breakdown voltage than a silicone diode.


A zener diode operates in?

In a reverse bias higher than the break down voltage.


Why doesn't zener diode have negative resistance?

because of its high break down voltage.


What is the difference between cut in and break down voltage?

What do you mean by peak reverse voltage of semiconductor diode?

Peak reverse voltage of a diode is the maximum reverse bias voltage can be applied to diode which does not cause break down.


Break down voltage?

The breakdown voltage of an insulator is the minimum voltage that makes it partially conductive electrically. On the other hand, the breakdown voltage in a diode refers to the minimum reverse voltage to cause it to conduct in reverse.


When excessive voltage is applied to a capacitor it will break down What factor of the capacitor has the greatest effect on breakdown voltage?

The dielectric material between the plates.


What is break down?

it is the minimum revers voltage at which P N Junction brake down with sudden rides in reverse current.
