  • In this video, the diode and its V-I characteristics have been explained.
    The following topics have been discussed in the video.
    0:43 What is Diode?
    1:53 V-I characteristics of Diode
    3:57 Ideal Diode and it's V-I characteristics
    6:49 The ideal diode with the threshold voltage
    10:04 The ideal diode with a threshold voltage and resistance
    12:41 Piece-wise linear characteristics of the diode
    What is a diode?
    The diode is two terminal semiconductor element which allows the flow of current in one direction. (It's unilateral element)
    The one terminal of the diode is known as the anode and another terminal is known as the cathode.
    Forward Bias:
    when the applied voltage across the anode and cathode is positive then the diode allows the flow of current and it is said to be forward biased.
    Reverse Bias:
    If the applied voltage is negative then it will not allow the flow of current and diode is said to be reversed biased.
    V-I characteristics of the diode:
    Using V-I characteristics of the diode, it is easy to find the voltage and current in the circuit which contains the diode.
    The diode is a non-linear element. It means the relationship between voltage and current is non-linear. Because of the non-linear relationship, it is a bit difficult to analyze the circuit which has a diode.
    And to analyze the circuit, different diode approximations are used.
    In the video, different diode approximations have been discussed.
    At the end of the video, different diode parameters have been discussed.
    This video will be helpful to everyone for getting the basic overview of the diode and understanding the V-I characteristics of the diode.

Aside from semiconductor physics, diodes, pn junction diodes, what else should I learn about so that I am fully ready to learn about solar cells?

      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  3 роки тому +1

      For, germanium the forward voltage drop is around 0.2 to 0.3V, while for silicon it is 0.6 - 0.7V.
      From the V-I characteristics, the point (on voltage axis) from where the current starts increasing gives the approximate idea of the forward voltage drop of the diode.
      And from that, you can know whether it is silicon or germanium. (For other materials, the voltage drop will be different)

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  3 роки тому +1

      What I mean to say was, if the equivalent resistance in series with the diode is much more than the diode forward resistance, then for simplicity the diode the resistance can be neglected.
      Diode resistance is typically a few ohms. But the load resistance or the equivalent resistance, in series with the diode, is much more than that, (few kΩ), then diode resistance can be neglected.
      In the video, instead of in series, I told across the diode.
      I hope it will clear your doubt.

    Why the voltage of diode increase sharply after some time

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  4 роки тому +4

      That's the characteristics of the diode. Once the applied voltage is more than the barrier potential of the diode, it starts conducting and it offers very low resistance. That's why the current increase sharply. You can visualise it as controllable switch.

  • @cheerladinnemouli2864
    @cheerladinnemouli2864 4 роки тому +1

    Sir u told that for ideal diode it flows the current before threshold voltage.but while the curve representation you shows that current flow after threshold voltage🤔🤔.please explain once it clearly sir🙏🙏

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  4 роки тому +1

      For analysis, different diode approximations are used.
      When the diode is considered as the ideal diode, then it will conduct when the voltage between the anode and cathode is positive. (The first approximation)
      In the second approximation, it will conduct when the voltage across the diode is greater than the threshold voltage. But otherwise, the diode is ideal. That means after that it will act as a closed switch. (No resistance, hence vertical line)
      In the third approximation, the resistance of the diode is also considered during the analysis.
      So, after the threshold voltage, there will be a linear increase in the current. (But still, it is an approximation because actually the current increase exponentially with the voltage)
      So, in short, depending on the type of analysis, any of the following approximations are used.
      Here during the representation in the curve, I have shown the second approximation where the diode conducts after the threshold voltage.
      I hope it will clear your doubt.

    Thank you Sir,
    What happens if the diode reaches to breakdown region... will it get damaged? When the negative voltage is applied the no current flows in circuit then why reverse saturation current occurs?? What is the use of this reverse saturation current??

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  3 роки тому +1

      Yes, If the normal diode is used in the breakdown region for a longer time, then it can damage the diode. Regarding your second question, the reverse saturation current is very small. (typically in uA or even less).
      Please go through the next video in the diode series, I have explained that.

    why silicon is preferred more than germanium inspite of high threshold voltage...?

    • @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS
      @ALLABOUTELECTRONICS  6 років тому +1

      The germanium has more reverse saturation current than silicon at the given temperature and voltage. The reverse saturation current tends to increase with temperature. For germanium, it increases more rapidly than silicon. And moreover, that silicon is available in abundance in nature. So, not only in diode but in almost all semiconductor devices silicon is used.
