2
electron hole
Rise in temperature generates more ________ pairs thus conductivity increases and thus there is an increase in current.
New cards
3
reverse saturation
Increase in ________ current with temperature offsets the effect of rise in temperature.
New cards
4
Reverse
________ (leakage) Current: As an ideal diode does not contain a breakdown end, it never performs and ________ current termed leakage current.
New cards
5
Ideal Diode
________: When a(n) ________ is in forward bias, it offers no resistance and acts as an open switch.
New cards
6
Reverse breakdown voltage
________ (VR) also increases as we increase the temperature.
New cards
7
ideal insulator
It is a(n) ________ when voltage is applied in reverse.
New cards
8
Total Power Dissipation
________: It is the maximum possible power dissipation of the diode when it is forward biased.
New cards
9
Carrier voltage

New cards
10
Ideal Diode
When an ideal diode is in forward bias, it offers no resistance and acts as an open switch
New cards
11
Practical Diode
A diode which is said to be forward biased it starts conducting at knee voltage and under reverse bias no current due to majority charges hence a practical diode is considered to be an open switch(minority charge current ignored)
New cards
12
Threshold Voltage
Ideal diodes do not have a threshold voltage
New cards
13
Forward Current
Ideal diodes include unlimited forward current when any forward voltage is applied across the terminals
New cards
14
Breakdown voltage
Ideal diodes do not have breakdown voltage
New cards
15
Reverse (leakage) Current
As an ideal diode does not contain a breakdown end, it never performs and reverse current termed leakage current
New cards
16
Peak Inverse Voltage
Also known as Maximum Reverse Voltage, it is the max allowable reverse operating voltage that can be applied across the diode without reverse breakdown and damaging occurring to the device
New cards
17
Total Power Dissipation
It is the maximum possible power dissipation of the diode when it is forward biased
New cards
18
Ideal diode under reverse bias
offers infinite resistance and hence acts like an open switch
