text: Like a check valve with water, a diode freely conducts electrical current in one direction, and stops the electrical current from flowing the other direction.
text: Like a check valve with water, a diode freely conducts electrical current in one direction, and stops the electrical current from flowing the other direction.
text: Therefore, the voltage at the anode must be higher than at the cathode for a diode to conduct electrical current.
text: At this point, the diode will conduct electrical current and allow it to continue to flow until the voltage is removed.
text: Should that voltage, however, continue to increase to a predetermined level, called the breakdown voltage, the diode will undergo a controlled avalanche and begin to conduct electrical current in the reverse direction safely.
text: The diode then becomes forward biased and begins to conduct electrical current; however, the electrical force needed to overcome the depletion layer and travel across the positive anode of the diode requires the use of a small amount of the electrical voltage.
text: Normal diodes are designed to affect electrical current, while LEDs are created to make light.
text: Photo diodes also produce electrical current from light.
