Hacks of Electronics
If you’ve ever opened up an electronic device – anything from a laptop charger to a pair of gaming headphones – you’ll notice tiny components scattered across the board. Among them, the diode is one of the most essential. It doesn’t look like much, but it plays a massive role in how circuits behave and […]
The tunnel diode, also known as the Esaki diode, is a type of semiconductor diode that exhibits a unique behavior due to quantum mechanical tunneling. Leo Esaki invented the tunnel diode in 1957, and he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for it in 1973. Its negative resistance region in the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics makes […]
There are various kinds of diode used in day today electronics devices. here are some widely used diode with their symbol representation and basic idea about them, like how they work and their uses.
