Although the diode is very familiar with the device, but a more comprehensive, more complete introduction of the diode is not much, this paper gives a more systematic, more comprehensive knowledge of the diode, in order to choose the use of reference.

There are several types of diode types, signal diodes, large current diodes, voltage regulators, TVS tubes, Schottky diodes, etc..
1 signal diode, which is smaller, faster and faster recovery speed, smaller diode. For signal line.
2 high current diode is generally used as anti - counter, choose to pay attention to the rated forward current, reverse voltage and forward voltage drop. This type of diode selection, because of its positive current is larger, in order to reduce power consumption, the average forward voltage drop, the smaller the better. And the reverse voltage is also as big as possible.
3 voltage regulator tubes called Zener, here refers to the use of the small voltage signal line protection tube. Unless the signal is very large, there is no need to pay special attention to power.
4 TVS pipe refers to the power of the transient protection, generally used in the power line, according to the successor circuit voltage selection voltage regulator value, according to the power signal fluctuations in the choice of power.
5 Schottky diode above 4 types are divided according to function, and the name of Schottky diode is from it and other pipe different production process, is a completely different method. The Schottky diode is a small signal diode, but also a large head of anti - Anti - diode. Schottky diode is characterized by a small forward voltage drop, but the reverse voltage is also smaller. As far as possible, when the reverse voltage is not required, as far as possible the use of Schottky diodes.
The above is based on the experience of roughly divided, hoping to help the majority of friends in different types of diode selection and adoption of the program. Here at the same time, also hope that our friends support of tergytech Co., Ltd, we will provide you better service of diode.
