| 1. | All of these gave excessive forward voltage drop at high currents.
|
| 2. | It has a low forward voltage drop and a very fast switching action.
|
| 3. | However, the p-type typically has a much lower forward voltage.
|
| 4. | When sufficient forward voltage is applied, a current flows in the forward direction.
|
| 5. | However, some distortion occurs due to the forward voltage drop of the diodes.
|
| 6. | Or, more simply, using LEDs that all have the same forward voltage.
|
| 7. | However, this resultant reduction in on-state forward voltage comes with several penalties:
|
| 8. | The forward voltage drop in the conducting state translates into heat that must be dissipated.
|
| 9. | The choice of the combination of the metal and semiconductor determines the forward voltage of the diode.
|
| 10. | Forward-voltage triggering occurs when the anode cathode forward voltage is increased with the gate circuit opened.
