Diode

This document discusses diodes and their applications. It begins with an introduction that defines a diode as a semiconductor device that only allows current to flow in one direction. Diodes are made from silicon, germanium, or GaAs. The document then covers diode circuit models and applications of diodes in various circuits. It describes different types of diodes like PN junction diodes, Zener diodes, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and photodiodes. In conclusion, it summarizes that diodes are essential semiconductor devices that exploit the principle of asymmetric conduction to enable numerous electronic applications.

√ The Ideal Diode
Model

The diode is designed to allow current to flow in only one


direction. The perfect diode would be a perfect conductor in
one direction (forward bias) and a perfect insulator in the
other direction (reverse bias). In many situations, using the
ideal diode approximation is acceptable.
