  2. Flyback diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flyback_diode

    Instead of spiking to -300 V, the flyback diode only allows approximately -1.4 V of potential to be built up (-1.4 V is a combination of the forward bias of the 1N4007 diode (1.1 V) and the foot of wiring separating the diode and the solenoid [dubious – discuss]). The waveform in Figure 2 is also smoother than the waveform in Figure 1 ...

  3. 1N400x rectifier diode - Wikipedia

    1N4001 diode in DO-41 axial package (through hole mount) A schematic symbol for general-purpose silicon rectifier diodes Current-voltage characteristics of a 1N4001 at different temperatures The 1N400x (or 1N4001 or 1N4000 [ 1 ] ) series is a family of popular one- ampere general-purpose silicon rectifier diodes commonly used in AC adapters for ...

  4. Snubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubber

    The stored energy of the inductor is then gradually dissipated by the diode voltage drop and the resistance of the inductor itself. One disadvantage of using a simple rectifier diode as a snubber is that the diode allows current to continue flowing for some time, causing the inductor to remain active for slightly longer than desired.

  5. Curve tracer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_tracer

    A curve tracer is a specialised piece of electronic test equipment used to analyze the characteristics of discrete electronic components, such as diodes, transistors, thyristors, and vacuum tubes. The device contains voltage and current sources that can be used to stimulate the device under test (DUT).

  6. Current–voltage characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current–voltage...

    A curved I–V line represents a nonlinear resistance, such as a diode. In this type the resistance varies with the applied voltage or current. Negative resistance vs positive resistance: If the I–V curve has a positive slope (increasing to the right) throughout, it represents a positive resistance. An I–V curve that is nonmonotonic (having ...

  9. Semiconductor characterization techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor...

    Semiconductor characterization techniques are used to characterize a semiconductor material or device (p–n junction, Schottky diode, solar cell, etc.).Some examples of semiconductor properties that could be characterized include the depletion width, carrier concentration, carrier generation and recombination rates, carrier lifetimes, defect concentration, and trap states.
