i have to draw the c.r.o. display for a diode, is it just the same as for an a.c. input but with the parts that were below the x-axis, intead reflected in the x-axis?
c.r.o. - cathode ray oscilloscopeIntegral said:What is a c.r.o. ?
Why is it a negative DC bias? What are some example magnitudes for turn-on voltage of a diode (Ge, Si, PIN) ?andrevdh said:What I am try to indicate is that the diode needs a bit of bias (depending on the type of diode) before it starts to conduct. It does not conduct straight away.
A diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction. It has two terminals, an anode and a cathode, and is typically made of a semiconductor material such as silicon.
A diode works by using a semiconductor material with two different types of doping, creating a depletion region between them. When a voltage is applied in the forward direction, the depletion region becomes smaller and current can flow through the diode. In the reverse direction, the depletion region becomes larger and current cannot flow.
A cathode ray oscilloscope, or CRO, is a test instrument used to display and analyze electrical signals. It works by using an electron beam to create a visual representation of the signal on a screen, similar to a television.
Diodes are commonly used in electronic circuits for rectification, voltage regulation, and signal demodulation. They are also used in power supplies, solar cells, and light emitting diodes (LEDs).
In a laboratory setting, a CRO is used to measure and analyze electrical signals from various sources. It can be used to troubleshoot electronic circuits, test the performance of electronic components, and measure signal characteristics such as amplitude, frequency, and phase.
