DIODES
Electrical Device
> Chip of semiconducting
material doped with
impurities to create a
p-n junction.
> Allows current to move
through it in one direction.
(One way valve).
pn-Junction
> Boundary between
n-type (Donor) and
p-type (Acceptors)
doped impurities.
Applications
> Radio Modulation
> Power Conversion
> Over Voltage Protection
> Logic Gates
> Radiation Detectors
> Temperature Measurements
> Current Steering
> Light Source (LED)
LED of Shapes &Sizes
LEDs
> Small
> Bright
> Uniform illumination
> Inexpensive
> Easily Strobed
> Low Temperature
> Limited Wear & Tear
> Different colors = Better Visibility
> Synchronized with Imaging
