Understanding Diodes

• Basic Concepts, Types, and Applications


What is a Diode?
• A semiconductor device that allows current to
flow in one direction only. Acts as a one-way
switch for current.
Diode Symbol and Structure
• Symbol: Anode (+) and Cathode (-). Structure:
P-N junction (P-type and N-type materials).
How a Diode Works
• Forward Bias: Current flows (Anode +,
Cathode -). Reverse Bias: Current blocked
(Anode -, Cathode +).
Current-Voltage Characteristics
• Forward Voltage Drop (Silicon ~0.7V,
Germanium ~0.3V). Reverse Breakdown
Voltage.
Types of Diodes
• Rectifier Diode, Zener Diode, LED (Light
Emitting Diode), Schottky Diode, Photodiode.
Rectifier Diode
• Converts AC to DC. Used in power supplies.
Zener Diode
• Operates in reverse bias. Provides voltage
regulation.
LED (Light Emitting Diode)
• Emits light when forward biased. Used in
indicators and displays.
Schottky Diode
• Low forward voltage drop (~0.2V - 0.3V). Used
in high-speed switching applications.
Photodiode
• Converts light into electric current. Used in
sensors and solar cells.
Applications of Diodes
• Rectification (AC to DC), Voltage regulation,
Signal demodulation, Overvoltage protection.
Diode Circuit Example
• Simple rectifier circuit diagram with
explanation.
Types of Rectifiers
• Half-Wave Rectifier, Full-Wave Rectifier, Bridge
Rectifier (most efficient).
How to Test a Diode
• Use a multimeter in diode mode. Forward
bias: Low resistance. Reverse bias: High
resistance.
Advantages of Diodes
• Simple and inexpensive, Energy-efficient (e.g.,
LEDs), High reliability.
Limitations of Diodes
• Fixed voltage drop, Limited power-handling
capacity.
Real-World Applications
• Mobile chargers, Solar panels, LED lighting
systems.
Summary
• Diodes are essential components in
electronics. Key types: Rectifier, Zener, LED,
Schottky, and Photodiode. Applications in
power supply, voltage regulation, and lighting.
