The PN junction diode is one of the most important and widely used semiconductor devices in electronics. It is created by joining a P-type semiconductor and an N-type semiconductor within a single crystal structure. This simple yet powerful device allows electric current to flow easily in one direction while offering very high resistance to current […]
A TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diode is a specialized semiconductor device used to protect electronic circuits from high-voltage transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning surges, and switching spikes. It responds extremely fast and clamps overvoltage to a safe level before they damage sensitive components. Modern electronic systems are highly sensitive to voltage spikes caused […]
The Diac is basically a two-terminal device. Here we will discuss the symbol, construction, VI characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and applications of Diac. It is such a combination of semiconductor layers that allows triggering in both directions. The Diac is used as a triggering device for the TRIAC circuits. What is a DIAC? A DIAC (Diode […]
