Zener diode maintains a nearly constant dc voltage under the proper operating conditions. 2112 Electrical Technology 54.1. Zener Diode It is a reverse-biased heavily-doped silicon (or germanium) P-N junction diode which is oper- ated in the breakdown region where current is limited by both external resistance and power dissipa- tion of the diode. Silicon is perferred to Ge because of its higher temperature and current capability. As seen from Art. 52.3, when a diode breaks down, both Zener and avalanche effects are present although usually one or the other predominates depending on the value of reverse voltage. At reverse voltages less than 6 V, Zener effect predominates whereas above 6 V, avalanche effect is predomi- nant. Strictly speaking, the first one should be called Zener diode and the second one as avalanche diode but the general practice is to call both types as Zener diodes. Zener breakdown occurs due to breaking of covalent bonds by the strong electric field set up in the depletion region by the reverse voltage. It produces an extremely large number of electrons and holes which constitute the reverse saturation current (now called Zener current, Iz) whose value is limited only by the external resistance in the circuit.

  • (Or Varicap) Diode
    Radio and Electronics Cookbook 20 The varactor (or varicap) diode Introduction Many of the circuits for receivers and transmitters presented in this series rely upon the variable capacitor as a means of tuning. Another method of varying capacitance (without any moving parts) is provided by the varactor diode, sometimes called a varicap diode. This is a component which changes its capacitance as the voltage across it is varied. The details Figure 1 shows how a varactor diode might be connected to demonstrate its operation. Its symbol is that of an ordinary diode, with a capacitor symbol next to it. A variable voltage is applied across it in such a way that the diode is reverse-biased. This means that virtually no current passes through it – the positive voltage is applied to the cathode. Varactors are cheaper than variable capacitors, and they are tiny in comparison, very suitable for today’s miniature circuits. If A and B were connected across the tuning coil in a simple receiver (with a series capacitor to block the DC from the battery reaching the coil), the tuning operation would be accomplished by turning the knob on the 10 kilohm potentiometer. Varactors are available with different values, from less than 20 picofarad (pF) for VHF applications to 500 pF for medium-wave radios. They are Figure 1 The capacitance of the varicap diode (between A and B) increases as the voltage is reduced, using the variable resistor 64 A portable radio for medium waves tuned usually by voltages between 2 V and 9 V. For a real application of varactors, you should consult the circuit diagram of the Yearling 20 metre receiver, elsewhere in this book.

  • Capacitor & Capacitance
    CAPACITOR & CAPACITANCE - TYPES Capacitor types Listed by di-electric material. A 12 pF 20 kV fixed vacuum capacitor Vacuum : Two metal, usually copper, electrodes are separated by a vacuum. The insulating envelope is usually glass or ceramic. Typically of low capacitance - 10 - 1000 pF and high voltage, up to tens of kilovolts, they are most often used in radio transmitters and other high voltage power devices. Both fixed and variable types are available. Vacuum variable capacitors can have a minimum to maximum capacitance ratio of up to 100, allowing any tuned circuit to cover a full decade of frequency. Vacuum is the most perfect of dielectrics with a zero loss tangent. This allows very high powers to be transmitted without significant loss and consequent heating. Air : Air dielectric capacitors consist of metal plates separated by an air gap. The metal plates, of which there may be many interleaved, are most often made of aluminium or silver-plated brass. Nearly all air dielectric capacitors are variable and are used in radio tuning circuits. Metallized plastic film: Made from high quality polymer film (usually polycarbonate, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyester (Mylar), and for high quality capacitors polysulfone), and metal foil or a layer of metal deposited on surface. They have good quality and stability, and are suitable for timer circuits. Suitable for high frequencies. Mica: Similar to metal film. Often high voltage. Suitable for high frequencies. Expensive. Excellent tolerance. Paper: Used for relatively high voltages. Now obsolete. Glass: Used for high voltages. Expensive. Stable temperature coefficient in a wide range of temperatures. Ceramic: Chips of alternating layers of metal and ceramic.

  • Variable Capacitors in RF Circuits
    Source: Secrets of RF Circuit Design 1 CHAPTER Introduction to RF electronics Radio-frequency (RF) electronics differ from other electronics because the higher frequencies make some circuit operation a little hard to understand. Stray capacitance and stray inductance afflict these circuits. Stray capacitance is the capacitance that exists between conductors of the circuit, between conductors or components and ground, or between components. Stray inductance is the normal in- ductance of the conductors that connect components, as well as internal component inductances. These stray parameters are not usually important at dc and low ac frequencies, but as the frequency increases, they become a much larger proportion of the total. In some older very high frequency (VHF) TV tuners and VHF communi- cations receiver front ends, the stray capacitances were sufficiently large to tune the circuits, so no actual discrete tuning capacitors were needed. Also, skin effect exists at RF. The term skin effect refers to the fact that ac flows only on the outside portion of the conductor, while dc flows through the entire con- ductor. As frequency increases, skin effect produces a smaller zone of conduction and a correspondingly higher value of ac resistance compared with dc resistance. Another problem with RF circuits is that the signals find it easier to radiate both from the circuit and within the circuit. Thus, coupling effects between elements of the circuit, between the circuit and its environment, and from the environment to the circuit become a lot more critical at RF. Interference and other strange effects are found at RF that are missing in dc circuits and are negligible in most low- frequency ac circuits.

  • Two Terminal Special Purpose Devices First Year
    www.uptunotes.com Content: - Special Purpose two terminal Devices: Light-Emitting Diodes, Varactor (Varicap)Diodes, Tunnel Diodes, Liquid-Crystal Displays. 1- Light Emitting Diode (LED) Light Emitting Diode is a photo electronic device which converts electrical energy to light energy. It is heavily doped P-N junction diode which under forward biased emits spontaneous radiation. The diode is covered with a transparent cover so that the emitted light may come out. Construction- In an LED, the upper layer of p-type semiconductor is deposited by diffusion on n-type layer of semiconductor. The metalized contacts are provided for applying the forward bias to the P-N junction diode from battery B through resistance R which controls the brightness of light emitted. Fig: LED construction Working of LED The LED works on the principle of electroluminescence. When a P-N junction is forward biases, the electrons in N- region cross the junction & recombines with holes in P-region. When electrons recombine with the holes, they move from conduction band to valence band which is at lower energy level. While moving, the additional energy is released by the free electrons which appear in the form of light due to the special material used in the LED. The energy released depends on the forbidden gap energy which determines the wavelength & the colour of the emitted light. Materials of LED The materials which are the mixtures of Gallium, Arsenic & Phosphorus are used in LED to obtain different coliour of light.

    Basic Electronics Engineering. Chapter-1 1. Diode Circuit 1.1 Define Electronics & its application. The world's reliance on electronics is so great that commentators claim people live in an "electronic age." People are surrounded by electronics—televisions, radios, computers, mobiles, Laptop and DVD players, along with products with major electric components, such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other kitchen appliances, automatic vehicles, Robotics, as well as hearing aids and medical instruments and numerous applications in industry. Definition: The branch of engineering which deals with current conduction through a Vacuum or Gas or Semiconductor is known as Electronics. An electronic device is that in which current flows through a vacuum or gas or semiconductor. This control of electrons is accomplished by devices that resist, carry, select, steer, switch, store, manipulate, and exploit the electron. Or Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, and associated passive interconnection technologies. Commonly, electronic devices contain circuitry consisting primarily or exclusively of active semiconductors supplemented with passive elements; such a circuit is described as an electronic circuit.
