    Average Voltage & PIV
    • Average Value of the Half-Wave
    Output Voltage

    Elec. Eng., Lec#2 , Spring 2015


    • Effect of the Barrier Potential

    • The peak inverse voltage (PIV)


    equals the peak value of the input
    voltage

    The diode must be capable of withstanding


    this amount of repetitive reverse voltage.

    POWER SUPPLY REGULATORS
    • While filters can reduce the ripple from power supplies to a low value, the
    most effective approach is a combination of a capacitor-input filter used
    with a voltage regulator.

    The Zener Diode
    • A zener diode is a silicon pn junction device that is designed for
    operation in the reverse-breakdown region.
    • The breakdown voltage of a zener diode is set by carefully controlling the
    doping level during manufacture.

    The Light-Emitting Diode (LED)
    Basic operation :
    • When the device is forward-biased, electrons cross the pn junction from the
    n-type material and recombine with holes in the p-type material.
    • The difference in energy between the electrons and the holes corresponds to

    Elec. Eng., Lec#2 , Spring 2015


    the energy of visible light.
    • When recombination takes place, the recombining electrons release energy in
    the form of photons.

    The Photodiode
    • The photodiode is a device that operates in reverse bias where I is the reverse
    light current.
    • The photodiode has a small transparent window that allows light to strike the
    pn junction.

    Elec. Eng., Lec#2 , Spring 2015


    • Internal Resistance changes by the amount of light.
