The capacitance of a varicap diode varies as the reverse voltage to the diode changes. As you increase the reverse voltage, the capacitance decreases. And vice versa.

What diode is used as voltage controlled capacitor?

It is called a varactor or a varicap diode. Its capacitance varies nonlinearly with the reverse voltage applied to its terminals.


What is verector diode in electronics?

I think you you are asking about varactor diode. varactor means variable capacitor. varactor diode is a p-n junction diode which provide a capacitance across it subjected to applied forward and reverse bias. means it provide variable capacitance which depends on the applied reverse voltage(mostly varactor diode works on reverse voltage).They are also known as varicap

What is the piv necessary for the diode if transformer?

The pivot necessary for a diode in a transformer circuit is typically the diode's peak reverse voltage (PRV) rating, which must be higher than the maximum voltage seen during the transformer's operation. This ensures that the diode can withstand reverse bias without breaking down. Additionally, the forward current rating of the diode should accommodate the maximum current flowing through the circuit. Proper selection of these ratings ensures reliable operation and prevents damage to the diode or transformer.
