Source sentences:
text: Open diode means diode behaves as an open switch in both reverse and forward-biased conditions.
text: Thus, when reverse biased, the diode behaves much like an open switch; and when forward biased, for currents of about 10 mA or greater, the diode gives a nearly constant voltage drop of ~0.7 V .
