Current limiting diodes (CLD) regulate current over a wide voltage range. CLDs are used in many applications. Some examples include waveform generators, battery chargers, and timing circuits. CLDs are ...

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 ...

Schottky diodes are rectifying metal–semiconductor junctions distinguished by their unipolar conduction and absence of minority‐carrier storage, which result in low forward voltage drop and rapid ...

Here we introduce some of the most important high voltage diodes available. The most commonly specified type of high voltage diodes are PIN, Schottky, and Zener PIN Diodes PIN diodes are three-layer ...
