  3. DIODES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Introduction- Basic Concepts • Whats a diode? - Di+Ode - A semiconductor device with two terminals allowing the flow of current in one direction only.  CIRCUIT SYMBOL

  4. DIODES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Introduction- Basic Concepts • What are diodes made out of? • Silicon • Germanium • GaAs }  Diamond Lattice Structure  Zincblende Structure

  5. DIODES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Introduction- Basic Concepts • What are diodes made out of? • In both the diamond lattice and zincblend lattice, each atom shares its valence electrons with its four closest neighbors. This sharing of electrons is what ultimately allows diodes to be build. When dopants from groups 3 or 5 (in most cases) are added to Si, Ge or GaAs it changes the properties of the material so we are able to make the P- and N-type materials that become the diode. • Diamond lattice and Zinc Blende • Structure

  6. DIODES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Introduction- Basic Concepts • Diode Circuit Models • Ideal Diode Model • The Ideal Diode with Barrier Potential • The Ideal Diode with Barrier Potential and Linear Forward Resistance Lets Browse through the three important diode circuit models

  7. DIODES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Introduction- Basic Concepts • Diode Circuit Models • Ideal Diode Model • The Ideal Diode with Barrier Potential • The Ideal Diode with Barrier Potential and Linear Forward Resistance The Ideal Diode Model √ The diode is designed to allow current to flow in only one direction. The perfect diode would be a perfect conductor in one direction (forward bias) and a perfect insulator in the other direction (reverse bias). In many situations, using the ideal diode approximation is acceptable.

  8. DIODES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Introduction- Basic Concepts • Diode Circuit Models • Ideal Diode Model • The Ideal Diode with Barrier Potential • The Ideal Diode with Barrier Potential and Linear Forward Resistance The Ideal Diode with Barrier Potential √ + V √ This model is more accurate than the simple ideal diode model because it includes the approximate barrier potential voltage. Remember the barrier potential voltage is the voltage at which appreciable current starts to flow.

  9. DIODES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Introduction- Basic Concepts • Diode Circuit Models The Ideal Diode with Barrier Potential & Linear Forward Resistance • Ideal Diode Model • The Ideal Diode with Barrier Potential • The Ideal Diode with Barrier Potential and Linear Forward Resistance √ + V RF √ This model is the most accurate of the three. It includes a linear forward resistance that is calculated from the slope of the linear portion of the transconductance curve. However, this is usually not necessary since the RF (forward resistance) value is pretty constant. For low-power germanium and silicon diodes the RF value is usually in the 2 to 5 ohms range, while higher power diodes have a RF value closer to 1 ohm. √

  13. DIODES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Getting into- Diodes & their uses • Types of Diodes and their applications √ • THE LIGHT EMITTING DIODES (LEDS) A K √ Light-emitting diodes are designed with a very large bandgap so movement of carriers across their depletion region emits photons of light energy. Lower bandgap LEDs (Light-Emitting Diodes) emit infrared radiation, while LEDs with higher bandgap energy emit visible light. Schematic Symbol for a Light-Emitting Diode √ The arrows in the LED representation indicate emitted light.
