Diode
The Diode
Introduction
– A diode is a device with a single pn junction.
– It is very important in electronic circuits!
– It blocks current in one direction, allowing it to flow in the other. This is essential in many circuits’ operation.
– Examples: rectifiers, limiters, clampers, multipliers, etc.
