Materi Dioda

The document discusses diode characteristics including: - Diode voltage-current curves showing forward and reverse bias conditions, with current increasing drastically once forward voltage exceeds the barrier potential. - The diode symbol and how diodes act as a closed switch under forward bias and open switch under reverse bias in ideal models. - More accurate practical models that include the diode's internal barrier potential and resistances under forward and reverse bias. - Common diode circuit applications like rectifiers, clipping/limiting circuits, and positive/negative clampers.

DIODE

Diode Characteristic Curve


• Diode voltage versus current, known as a V-I
characteristic curve.
• The upper right quadrant of the graph represents the
forward-biased condition. There is very little forward
current for forward voltages below the barrier
potential. As the forward voltage approaches the value
of the barrier potential, the current begins to increase.
Once the forward voltage reaches the barrier
potential, the current increases drastically and must be
limited by a series resistor. The voltage across the
forward-biased diode remains approximately equal to
the barrier potential.
• The lower left quadrant of the graph represents the
reverse-biased condition. As the reverse voltage
increases to the left, the current remains near zero
until the breakdown voltage (VBR) is reached. When
breakdown occurs, there is a large reverse current
which, if not limited, can destroy the diode. Typically,
the breakdown voltage is greater than 50 V for most
rectifier diodes. Remember that most diodes should
not be operated in reverse breakdown.
Diode Symbol
Diode Bias
The Ideal Diode Model. The simplest way to visualize diode operation is to think of it as a switch.
When forward-biased, the diode ideally acts as a closed (on) switch; and when reverse-biased, it acts
as an open (off) switch, as shown in Figure 19. The V-I characteristic curve for this model is also
shown in part (c). Note that the forward voltage and the reverse current (IR) are always zero in the
ideal case.
The Practical Diode Model . The next higher level of accuracy includes the barrier potential
in the diode model. In this approximation, the forward-biased diode is represented
as a closed switch in series with a small “battery” equal to the barrier potential (0.7 V
for Si). The positive end of the battery is toward the anode. Keep in mind that the barrier
potential only has the effect of a battery when forward bias is applied because the forward bias
voltage, must overcome the barrier potential before the diode begins to conduct current. The
reverse-biased diode is represented by an open switch, as in the ideal case, because the barrier
potential does not affect reverse bias.
The Complete Diode Model One more level of accuracy will be considered at this point.
Figure shows the forward-biased diode model with both the barrier potential and the low
forward dynamic resistance. Figure shows how the high internal reverse resistance affects
the reverse-biased model.
