In this slideshow given below, the author will be explaining about Diodes and its application. He will explain the various types of diodes along with different biases and how it works. He will also be explaining about shortcut method involved in analyzing Clamper and clipper.
A diode in simple language is an electronic component that allows an electric current to pass in one direction (called as the diode’s forward direction), while blocking it in the opposite direction.
The Types of diodes explained below are as follows:
- Semiconductor Diode
