Definition of "Diode" |
Simplest and most fundamental non-linear circuit element. It is a two terminal device which only allows current to flow in one direction. / A two element, solid-state device made of either germanium or silicon; it is primarily used as a switching device. A semiconductor device having two terminals and exhibiting a nonlinear voltage-current characteristic. Also Diode Manufacturers listing. An electron tube containing two electrodes: a cathode and a plate. Also see a description of different Diode Types and definitions. / Simplest and most fundamental non linear circuit element. It is a two terminal device which only allows current to flow in one direction. / (1) a two-terminal device that permits the flow of electric current in only one direction. Diodes are most often constructed by abutting n-type and p-type regions of a semiconductor, that has significantly higher electrical conductivity in one direction (forwardbiased) than the other (reverse-biased). Diode devices may be specially designed for low-power, high switching speed applications (signal diodes) or higher-power applications (rectifier diodes). |
