yet requires far less current to maintain a more-accurate voltage. While a Zener diode uses a single p-n junction with specific doping to create a Zener breakdown voltage, a voltage reference uses ...

showing the direction of conventional current flow when the diode is forward biased. (Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) When a positive voltage is applied to the p-type side and a negative voltage ...

Capacitance-voltage characteristics, Impact ionization, Avalanche breakdown, Avalanche breakdown voltages, Tunneling current, Zener breakdown, Energy band diagram of pn junction under forward bias, ...

Last week we covered diodes ... As a result, we get all the low voltage goodness of a crystal rectifier combined with all the high current fun of a PN junction. Rectifying 200 amps at 150kHz?

One of the oldest and one of the newest semiconductors, Schottky diode use can be traced back to before 1900 where crystal detectors were all effectively Schottky diodes. Today, the new silicon ...

Bipolar devices, such as pn diodes and bipolar junction transistors, hold promising potential in the high-power electronics industry due to their ability to withstand reverse voltage currents.

This is avoided in the new method, which also offers linear I-V characteristics at low gate voltage ... the dynamic mechanism of the p-n junction with injection current, we will understand ...

The working principles of the spin-torque diode and the semiconductor p–n junction diode ... by changing the r.f. current (see Fig. 3d), and found that the d.c. voltage decreased linearly ...
