APPLICATION OF DIODE
-
SWITCH
-
Forward Biased diode
:star: The diode behave like a ON switch in this mode. A conduction diode has approximately a constant voltage drop across it. Its called turn on voltage
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
-
Zener diode regulator
:star: Zener diode connected in reverse
:star: Zener diode rated by their breakdown voltage Vz and maximum power Pz
:star: When forward-biased, zener diode behave as standard
rectifying diodes: it has a forward voltage drop about 0.7 V
:star: reverse-bias mode, not conduct until the applied voltage reaches the zener voltage- at point diode is
able to conduct substantial current.

Zener power , Pz = (I^2)(Z)

VOLTAGE MULTIPLIER
VOLTAGE MULTIPLIER - Is a special type of diode rectifier circuit which can potentially produce an output voltage many times greater than the applied input voltage
-
CLIPPERS
CLIPPER CIRCUIT Abality to "clip" off a portion of input signal without distorting the remaining part of the alternating waveform
-
Parallel clippers (Shunt)
:red_flag: The series resistor act as current limiter to avoid any damage to the diode or circuit
:red_flag: diode in parallel clipper circuit “clips” any voltage that forward bias
Forward biased, Vo = 0 or 0.7
Reversed biased , Vo = (RL / RL + RS)Vi
Positive
Negative
Series clipper
:red_flag: The diode in a series clipper “clips” any voltage that
does not forward bias
Forward biased, Vo =Vi - 0.7
Reversed biased, Vo = 0
Positive
Negative
