What is the I-V characteristic for diodes?
Think about how current behaves as voltage approaches the cut-in voltage.
What happens to the current when the voltage across a diode is less than the cut-in voltage?
Refer back to the diode's OFF condition.
What is the behavior of current in a diode when reverse saturation voltage is applied?
Think about reverse bias in diodes.
A diode functions as an ideal component in non-linear applications.
Consider real-life applications and approximations needed.
Design a simple circuit with a diode and an external resistor that allows a specific output voltage when an AC signal is added. Calculate the values needed for the desired operational conditions.
Use the predictions from the current-voltage relationship.
Given a graph showing the I-V characteristics of a diode at different temperatures, determine how temperature variations might affect the performance of the diode.
Consider how temperature affects semiconductor behavior.
