2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What happens to the current when a P-N junction diode is forward biased?
Think about how voltage affects current flow.
Is there current flow in reverse bias?
Consider what conditions allow current to flow through the diode.
What is the threshold voltage for a silicon diode?
Remember the typical value for silicon.
In reverse bias, does a P-N junction diode allow large current to flow?
Think about how diodes function when the voltage is applied in reverse.
Explain how the current in a forward-biased diode can be modeled using the Shockley diode equation. Provide a simplified version for practical use.
Think of the relationship between voltage and current as exponential growth.
A silicon diode with a reverse breakdown voltage of 25V is subjected to a reverse bias of 20V. Analyze the expected behavior of the diode and illustrate how you would protect it in a circuit.
Consider protective measures common in circuit designs.
