The circuit values shown limit the forward current to a safe 150 A and maximum reverse voltage to 1.2 V. Some simple modifications to the circuit can change these limits.

The diode is operated with a slight forward bias so a regular silicon signal diode (e.g., 1N914) can be used. The output impedance of the circuit is low and the load here has little effect on the ...

The ubiquitous diode—though you likely have a good understanding of this device, this primer of sorts acts as a quick-read guide, highlighting many of the essentials you need ...

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.

The required PIV rating could be resolved by initially substituting a test diode with a high voltage rating, and scoping later. This left only the unknown junction capacitance, Cj, and reverse ...
