A center-tapped rectifier is a type of full-wave rectifier that uses two diodes connected to the secondary of a center-tapped transformer,…
A full-wave rectifier allows unidirectional (one-way) current through the load during the entire 360° of the input cycle, whereas a half-wave…
Half-Wave Rectifier Operation The below Figure illustrates the process called half-wave rectification. A diode is connected to an ac source and…
All active electronic devices require a source of constant dc that can be supplied by a battery or a dc power…
An ideal diode is a diode that acts like a perfect conductor when voltage is applied forward biased and like…
The ideal model of a diode is the least accurate approximation and can be represented by a simple switch. When the…
As we know, forward bias produces current through a diode and reverse bias essentially prevents current, except for a negligible…
A diode is made from a small piece of semiconductor material, usually silicon, in which half is doped as a p region…
The valence and conduction bands in an n-type material are at slightly lower energy levels than the valence and conduction bands…
When you take a block of silicon and dope part of it with a trivalent impurity and the other part with…
