drop across the diode remains constant over a wide range of voltages.As shown in the diagram, the load voltage equals breakdown voltage VZ of the diode. The series resistor limits the current through the diode and drops the excess voltage when tbediede is conducting. Input Voltage V1 R Output Voltage V2 Load LED or Light Emitting Diode is another type of semiconductor that has similar characteristics as a standard PN junction diode. This means that during forward direction the current would pass but in a reverse direction the current would be blocked. This diode is made of very thin layer of fairly heavily doped semiconductor material and depending on the semiconductor material used and the amount of doping, when forward biased an LED will emit a colored light at a particular spectral wavelength. When the diode is forward blased, electrons from the semiconductors conduction band recombine with holes from the valence band releasing sufficient energy to produce photons which emit a single colored of light. Because of this thin layer a reasonable number of these photons can leave the junction and radiate away producing a colored light output. This diode is not made of silicon nor germanium but is made of exotic semiconductor compounds such as Gallium Arsenide, Gallium Phosphide, Gallium Arsenide Phosphide, Silicon Carbide or Gallium Indium Nitride all mixed together at different ratios to produce a distinct wavelength of color. From the table, we can see that each LED has its own forward voltage drop across the PN junction and this parameter which is determined by the semiconductor material used, is the (0) L Cuent 10 LED Type Coker V
forward voltage drop for a specified amount of forward conduction current, typically for a forward current of 20mA. > Components 1) Zener Diode I. II. III. IV. V. VI. 2) LED I. II. III. IV. V.
