Komponen (mengenal komponen elektronik)
Diodes
•Used to restrict the flow of current to a single direction (“rectification”)
•“Wants to make current flow in one way”
•Despite being a semiconductor device, it is classified as “passive”because it can provide no gain
•Common applications
–Rectification of AC to DC
–An essential component of switching power converters
–ESD (static electricity) protection
–Circuit protection against inverted batteries, power supplies
–(More rare) overshoot/undershoot termination clamp
