An Overview on Different Types of Diode and their smart operation

The diode is a two terminal electronics device that conduct in only one direction. This means it is a unidirectional component. The basic use of diode is switching and rectifying an electrical signal. The diode is use in also various types of applications like communication, digital electronics and many more. The most of the diode is made of silicon but in other case the Ge (germanium) is also used.

INTRODUCTION TYPES OF DIODE

The diode is two terminal electronics component that rectify the electrical signal. It is a unidirectional component that allows only one direction of flow of current. Most of the diode is made of silicon material but in some case the Germanium and Gallium Arsenide are use.

The terminal name of diode is anode and cathode. The anode terminal is positive and cathode is negative terminal of diode. The diode operation can be classified in two way o ways:

• If anode has higher potential than cathode, then we call the diode is Forward Bias and it allows current to flow in diode.
• If cathode has higher potential than anode, then we call the diode in Reverse Bias and it doesn’t allow current to flow through diode.
