p-n junction diode – formation, biasing circuit & curve

p-n junction diode is a semiconductor devices that has a wide application in electronics. Diodes and transistors are the basic elements of most of the integrated circuits. In this article, I’m going to discuss the formation, characteristics curves, bias circuit diagram, working principle and uses of a p-n junction diode. Contents of this article: A … Read more

Applications of Zener diode as voltage regulator

We already discussed the Semiconductor material and a semiconductor device p-n junction diode. Normal P-N junction diodes cannot operate at high reverse bias voltage because of the breakdown in diodes. To operate at high reverse bias voltage, a diode is to be designed in a special way. Zener diode is such kind of device that … Read more
