A Step Recovery Diode (SRD) is a special type of semiconductor diode also called as snap-off diode, charge storage diode and memory varactor diode. Step recovery diodes are having a different style of doping. It is not like a normal PN junction diode, it is a voltage dependent variable capacitor. The density of charge carrier […]
Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) are widely used for amplification and switching purposes. It consists of three layers of doped material, forming two PN junctions. These layers are called the emitter, base, and collector. There are two main types of BJTs: NPN and PNP, which differ in the arrangement and type of charge carriers involved. Symbol […]
