To illustrate a basic diode switch, we’ve prepared a couple of simplified circuit diagrams. The first shows the anode tied to ground through R1 and the cathode tied to the Vcc power rail.

This zener diode tester can be used to check zener diodes of 3.3V to 18V. ... The anode and cathode terminals of rectifier diodes can also be identified in this way. Do not touch the clips while ...

Diodes, one-way current conductors, are used for voltage regulation, AC/DC conversion, and circuit protection. Forward-biased at 0.6V, conduct current, reverse bias blocks it.

Abstract: Cathode current is a key measure of the rated power of the diode and is closely related to the cathode structure. Compared with $\Pi$ cathode and helical cathode, the mesh cathode has been ...
