Diodes
overall review score: 4.5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Diodes are electronic components that allow current to flow in only one direction. They are used in a wide range of electronic circuits for rectifying AC to DC, voltage regulation, signal demodulation, and many other applications.
Key Features
- One-way current flow
- Semiconductor material
- P-N junction
- Forward bias and reverse bias operation
Pros
- Efficient at converting AC to DC
- Reliable solid-state technology
- Wide range of applications in electronics
Cons
- Limited current capacity compared to larger components like transistors
- Voltage drop across diode can reduce efficiency in some circuits
