 DIODE Definition
We define DIODE |
DIODE - An electronic device with two electrodes/terminals, one called the cathode and the other the anode, and a single PN junction (which uses part P-type and part N-type semiconductor material). The diode will conduct current in only one direction, and only when the cathode voltage is positive relative to the anode voltage by a specified amount. The specific voltage depends on which semiconductor materials the PN junction is manufactured from. Diodes are often used as a rectifier to convert AC power to DC, but they have many uses. |
