text: A diode will become forward biased or turn on when a positive voltage is applied to push current through the diode in its forward direction.
text: For the diode to become forward biased, it must have the input voltage magnitude greater than +0.7 volts (0.3 volts for a germanium diode).
text: 0.7V before the diode becomes sufficiently forward biased to conduct.
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: When Vin drops below Vc, the diode becomes reverse biased and the capacitor holds the charge until the input voltage again attains a value greater than Vc.
