A varactor diode is a specialized semiconductor device widely used in electronics to utilize its property of variable capacitance. By understanding its symbol, construction, working principles, and applications, engineers can design systems that take advantage of its unique characteristics. This article provides a detailed overview of the varactor diode. Varactor Diode Symbol The symbol of […]
A Step Recovery Diode (SRD) is a special type of semiconductor diode also called as snap-off diode and charge storage diode. Step recovery diodes are having a different style of doping, it is not like a normal PN junction diode. The operation of SRD is based on the principle of storing and releasing charge during […]
The definition of diode is very simple, “A diode is a two-terminal polarized electronic component which mainly conducts current in one direction and blocks in other direction”. Its resistance in one direction is low (ideally zero) and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the other direction. There are various types of Diodes like Zener, Schottky, tunnel, […]
