What is a diode circuit?
The
diode circuit is any of the various electrical circuits that use the distinctive characteristics of the diodes. The class of crystalline semiconductors with two terminals, diodes show a strong distortion to transfer electric "forward" in one direction, while all but completely inhibit it in the other. LED circuits are commonly used in the power supply to convert AC (AC) to direct current (DC) and tune in TV and radio receivers. They are also used as analog and digital logical switches, as capacitors for temporary storage and increasing electric charge, in overvoltage protectors to prevent damage and light -detection sensors. In addition to the rectifier diodes include other common types of light emitting diodes (LED), Varicap diodes and Zener diodes. Widely used in the electronic industry are usually crazy from silicon, although Germanium is also used. The electrical resistance of the circuit of the diode circuit is minimal in the forward direction, from the anodeAfter the cathode, ie the term "forward distortion". For example, silicon diodes have a drop in voltage of 0.6-0.7 Volt, threshold, when carrying current in the direction forward. In order for the current to flow through the diode in the opposite direction, a relatively high minimum voltage must be achieved. These features are very useful in a wide range of electronic devices.
In the diode circuit, the diode can be connected to any of the wide range of other electrical or electronic devices - capacitors, resistors, transformers, power supply, etc. - depending on application. LEDs in the circuits can be arranged in series or in parallel. The initial application of the circuit of the diode circuit, which is still in extensive use today, is an analog signal. In the first days of digital calculation, diode circuits A or or.
from many different typesThe LEDs used in LED circuits produce light visible and invisible frequencies when the current passes between electrodes. Varicap or Varaktor, LEDs are used to tune radio and television receivers. Another type, photodiode, detects light. They usually work in reverse distortion and are used to produce electricity and solar photovoltaic cells. Zener diodes also work in reverse distortion and are widely used in the power supply to control voltage by creating a stable reference voltage.
