INTRINTRINTRINTRINTRODUCTIONODUCTIONODUC TIONODUCTIONODUCTIONThe most common application of Diodes is rectification. The rectifier Diodes are used in powersupplies to convert voltage into voltage. But rectification is not all that a diode cando. A number of specific types of Diodes are manufactured for specific applications inthis fast developing world. Some of the more common Special-Purpose Diodes are (i) Zener diode (ii) light -emitting diode (LED) (iii) Photo- diode (iv) Tunnel diode (v) Varactor diode and (vi) Shockleydiode. diode diode (LED) Voltage and Current of LED LEDs of LEDs operation of of diode of Varactor DiodeSpecial-PurposeDiodes7126 Principles of Zener DiodeA zener diode is a special type of diodethat is designed to operate in the reversebreakdown region.
Special-Purpose Diodes 127 almost the entire energy is given up in the form of heat and emitted light is insignificant. However, in materials like gallium arsenide, the number of photons of light energy is sufficient to produce quite
