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 ...

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.

In forward mode, approximately 150 µA flows through the diode, causing D4 to be reverse-biased and holding comparator U1’s inverting input low. This turns off the red LED.

Schematic Diagram of a P-N Junction Diode: The diagram illustrates the basic structure of a p-n junction diode with p-type silicon on one side, n-type silicon on the other, and the anode and cathode ...

Outputs can be between 0.5 and 5.5V when the input is ≥1.2V. This is a regulating-type ideal diode, whose control loop typically maintains a forward drop of 31mV when conducting (50mV max over the ...
