Showing Results For: Switching Diodes
A Switching Diodes has an embedded two-terminal PN junction, specifically used in electronic components to conduct small voltages. These switching diodes are also known as "single diodes." This device is composed of semiconductors that can be utilized to exchange voltage or work as a rectifier at low voltages. Since it is embedded in the circuit, which provides similar functions to a physical switch, it consists of an on/off state managed by the directions of the current transmission. The switching diode effectively functions as a closed switch with low resistance when there is forward current in the circuit (forward bias), allowing current to flow. The switching diode offers high resistance in the case of reverse bias, which prevents current flow up to a predetermined threshold.
This device can be employed in an application where low voltage is utilized. However, they need fast switching and high-speed rectification. A diode is typically employed as a circuit protection equipment to manage or stop reverse current impairment since this is a device upstream that consists of a switching diode, such as a Microcontroller.
