Specialty Diodes

About Specialty Diodes

Specialty diodes are specialty or proprietary products and accessories related to diodes. Specialty diodes are usually types of PIN, step recovery, laser, and LED diodes. They tend to have much lower leakage. Specialty diodes that employ resonant tunneling to provide forward-bias attributes are called a tunnel diode. The tunneling effect is when doping levels that enhance tunneling reduces an intrinsic voltage barrier. These types of diodes provide a negative resistance region where unlike conventional diodes, the current decreases as the voltage increases, resulting in very fast switching speeds.

A high voltage diode is a general-purpose diode that couples high forward conductance fast switching speed with high blocking voltages. A rectifier diode is a diode that is used in rectification power supplies, which convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). These types of specialty diodes are also used in circuits where a large current must pass through the diode. A Schottky diode is constructed of a metal-to-N junction rather than a P-N semiconductor junction.
