A
diode is a specialized electronic
component with two electrodes called the anode and the cathode. Most diodes
are made with semiconductor materials such as silicon,
germanium, or selenium. Diodes can be used as rectifiers, signal limiters,
voltage regulators, switches, signal modulators, signal mixers, signal
demodulators, and oscillators.
Semiconductive
material with two terminals and a p-n-junction, which conducts electricity in
just one direction. Most diodes are made with semiconductor materials such as silicon,
germanium, or selenium. Diodes can be used as rectifiers, signal limiters, voltage
regulators, switches, signal modulators, signal mixers, signal demodulators,
and oscillators.
