When the diode is forward biased and conducting electricity it will pass through any variations in the voltage being put into them, but when it is reverse biased and not conducting any electricity ...

This is the time that a diode remains conducting when suddenly switched from forward to reverse biased. I had to figure out a way to measure these parameters. Not with exotic equipment; just enough to ...

an ideal diode conducts electricity when a voltage of 0.6V is applied in the forward direction. This means current flows from the anode (positive) to the cathode (negative). Reverse bias ...

Power dissipation during the reverse-bias condition is a major consideration. As the diode clamps reverse voltage, the offending power supply may deliver sustained high current according to its power ...

[Legionlabs] is reverse-biasing a semiconductor junction (a 2N551 transistor). What does that mean? If we consider the junction as a diode and apply voltage in the wrong direction, what happens?

The varactor diode is operated under reverse bias, which creates a depletion zone around the P-N junction. Changing the level of the reverse bias changes the thickness of the depletion region and ...

the FET must be off when the diode is reverse-biased. Therefore, we connect the FET’s gate to the output of an amplifier, driving the gate low when the drain is higher than the source (Fig.
