Its a device have almost non-existent resistance , that can easily let electrical current to access in only one way. It's like two Semiconductors Cohered one Negative and one Positive. It is used to transform the current from Hesitant to Constant , and other uses.

What is the difference between a Shockley diode and a Shottky diode?

A Shockley diode is a primitive diode identical to a thyristor with it's gate left disconnected. A Schottky diode is similar to a normal avalanche diode except that it's forward voltage is quite low, and it's switching speed is very high.


What are the application of shottky barrier diode?

mostly high speed switches in digital logic circuits

Why do the wipers on your Pontiac Montana only work on high speed not low or intermittant?

inside the wiper motor there is a diode about 9 millimeters long (22059733). It is probably blown apart. replace with another 6 amp diode. inside the wiper motor there is a diode about 9 millimeters long (22059733). It is probably blown apart. replace with another 6 amp diode.


How does a diode shorted?

due to high voltage across the diode ie more than piv of the diode or current flows more than maximum allowed range of diode.


Why tunnel diode differ from the rectifier diode?

tunnel diodethe doping level of the tunnel diode is high when compared with the rectifier diodeit exhibits negative resistancerectifier diodethe doping level of rectifier diode is low when compared with the tunnel diode


What is the storage time for diode?

The storage time for a diode is typically very short, on the order of nanoseconds to microseconds. This is the time required for the diode to fully recover its original state after being forward or reverse biased. It is an important parameter to consider in high-speed applications.


What happens to the diode if it has high piv?

It can be connected in high reverse bias voltage .


What are the specification of diode?

The most important specifications of a diode are:maximum forward currentpeak inverse voltage (aka maximum reverse voltage)reverse leakage currentreverse turnoff time (very important in high speed switching diodes)maximum power dissipation (only given for power rectifier diodes)forward bias knee voltageparasitic capacitance (only important in high frequency applications)All of this and more can be found in the datasheet for the diode.
