types of diodes

types of diodes

1. DETECTOR DIODE

   • applied to operate in very high frequency and low current devices

2. RECTIFIER DIODE

   • Half wave rectifier
   • Full wave rectifier
   • Rectifier bridge or diode bridge.
   • Tension doubler.
   • Filtering with condensers

3. ZENER DIODE

   • has a low voltage (less than 100v)
   • current flow inversely
   • maintains a constant voltage across its terminals

4. LED DIODE

   • Elevator cabin.
   • Streets and parks
   • Interior corridors of houses, shops, hospitals, etc.
   • Stairs and their steps
   • Indoor and outdoor car parks.
   • Flashlights in general

5. CONSTANT CURRENT DIODE

   • regulate the voltage to a particular current.
   • It works as a two terminal current limiter.

6. SCHOTTKY DIODE

   • very small voltage drop
   • operate at my high speeds
   • very small voltage drop operate at my high speeds They are used in power sources, high-frequency circuits, and digital systems

7. DIODO SCHOCKLEY

   • Conduction or low impedance
   • Blocking or high impedance

8. TUNNEL DIODE

   • They are found in high frequency oscillator circuits.

9. DIODE PIN

   • RF switch
   • variable resistor
   • surge protector
   • photodetector dimmers
