LED or Light Emitting Diodes: Definitive Basic Guide
A light emitting diode or LED is a PN semiconductor device. The PN Junction produces light when electric current passes through it.
Gunn Diode Explaination
What is a Gunn diode A Gunn Diode is a microwave semiconductor diode designed to work in devices having microwave frequencies. Microwave Frequencies are electromagnetic radiation of tremendously high frequencies (THF), (maximum working frequency up to 3 THz, this depends on the material used in its structure). The most common materials used in their manufacturing…
Class A Power Amplifier Circuit: Efficiency | Characteristics Guide
In electronics, power amplifiers are categorized into various classes. These classes are based on the different characteristics of different power amplifier circuits. And Class A Amplifier is one of the simplest types of power amplifiers. Though it is least used power amplifier, it is one of the most asked amplifier class in interviews and various…
Power Amplifier Circuit, Classes and its Characteristics
A Power amplifier is a type of amplifier used to increase the amplitude of the signal and makes it stronger than the given input signal. It is the most demandable electronic device in the eyes of professionals because it comes in various forms and used in several circuits. The main operating characteristics of an ideal…
Resistor Symbol, working, Color code and Types
The resistor is an electronic component that restricts or limits the flow of current and divides the voltage in an electronic circuit. It is one of the most important passive components of an electronics industry because, without these components, active devices cannot process the electrical signals. Its main purpose is to provide a precise quantity…
Bridge Rectifier Circuit, Operation, Characteristics & Advantages
Full wave bridge rectifier is another type of full wave rectifier used to convert an alternating current input into a direct current output. In a bridge circuit configuration, it comprises of four diodes that provide the same polarity of output for either polarity of the input. The main feature of this diode bridge which makes…
Gallium Oxide: Semiconductor material with improved Heat conductivity
According to the recent work by Flosfia, a start-up in Kyoto, gallium oxide is one of the best semiconductor material with improved heat conductivity. The electronic component made from these type of material easily passes the electricity through power supplies, inverters etc are cheap and capable of handling high voltages. For the movement of electrons…
Full Wave Rectifier Circuit, Characteristics, Advantages & Disadvantages
A Full wave rectifier is a kind of rectifier that rectifies both waves (positive and negative) of the input signal, unlike a half-wave rectifier circuit. In this way, this uses the full signal and the wastage is minimum. And so the efficiency is maximum. The full-wave rectifier circuit is also of 2 types i.e. Center…
Half wave Rectifier Circuit, working, operation and characteristics
We have covered the basics of Rectifier and its types in our previous article. Now we will learn about each type of rectifier individually. In this article, we will cover all about half wave rectifier. As we have read that there are mainly three types of rectifiers, namely half wave, full wave, and center tapped….
Rectifier Circuits Introduction: Full-wave and Half Wave Rectifier Theory
A rectifier, also known as, AC to DC Converter is one of the most important devices in any electrical circuit. It is used to convert one form of the current into another. And because of this property, we have electricity in our house. So, in this chapter, we will cover rectifier definition, uses, the process…
