DIODE APPLICATIONS

A PN Junction diode has an important characteristic that it conducts well in forward direction and poorly in reverse direction. This characteristic makes a diode very useful in a number of applications given below:

1. As rectifiers or power diodes in d.c power supplies.

2. As signal diodes in communication circuits.

3. As zener diode in voltage regulator circuits.

4. As varactor diode in radio and TV receivers.

5. As a switch in logic circuits used in computers.
