Although they are a simple device, diodes do have a number of traits to consider. These traits are often application dependent. Some applications include: rectifiers, signal ORing, transistor turn off ...

A diode is an electric device which allows the flow of current only in one direction and restricts the current flow in the opposite direction. A diode starts its operations when a voltage signal is ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

I n an idealized diode, no reverse current flows from cathode to anode when the device is reverse-biased. However, with real-world diodes, large amounts of stored charge can flow from the cathode—back ...

RECENT numbers of the Soviet journal “Radiotekhnika i Elektronika” contain articles which reveal some indication of the course of Soviet research on tunnel diodes. The initiator of this work is Prof.
