1 Chapter 3 SPECIAL PURPOSE DIODE 1
2 Inventor of Zener Diode Clarence Melvin Zener was a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in the department of Physics. He developed the Zener Diode in 1950 and employed it in modern computer circuits. 2
3 Zener Diode A Zener is a diode operated in reversebias at the Zener voltage (V Z ). Common Zener voltages are between 1.8 V and 200 V 3
4 Zener Region The Zener region is in the diode s reverse-bias region. At some point the reverse bias voltage is so large the diode breaks down and the reverse current increases dramatically. The maximum reverse voltage that won t take a diode into the zener region is called the peak inverse voltage or peak reverse voltage. The voltage that causes a diode to enter the zener region of operation is called the zener voltage (V Z ). 4
5 Zener Region Approximate equivalent circuits for the Zener diode in the three possible regions of application. 5

8 Zener Diode (Fixed Vi and R) The Zener is a diode operated in reverse bias at the Zener Voltage (V z ). V = V L = R LV i R + R L When V i V Z The Zener is on Voltage across the Zener is V Z Zener current: I Z = I R I RL The Zener Power: P Z = V Z I Z When V i < V Z The Zener is off The Zener acts as an open circuit 8
9 Zener Diode (Fixed Vi, Variable RL) If R is too large, the Zener diode cannot conduct because the available amount of current is less than the minimum current rating, I ZK. The minimum current is given by: I Lmin I R I ZK The maximum value of resistance is: I RLmax Lmax V L R L V Z I Lmin If R is too small, the Zener current exceeds the maximum current rating, I ZM. The maximum current for the circuit is given by: i RV R Z Lmin V V R V Z Z Lmin The minimum value of resistance is: 9

11 Optical Diodes There are two popular types of optoelectronic devices: light-emitting diode (LED) Photodiode An LED emits photons when it is forward biased. These can be in the infrared or visible spectrum. LED is diode that emits light when biased in the forward direction of p-n junction. The forward bias voltage is usually in the range of 2 V to 3V. 11
12 Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Anode Cathode Fig.3 1: The schematic symbol and construction features. 12
13 Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Fig.3 2: LED that are produced in an array of shapes and sizes. LED characteristics: characteristic curves are very similar to those for p-n junction diodes higher forward voltage (V F ) lower reverse breakdown voltage (V BR ). 13
14 Light-Emitting Diode (LED) The basic operation of LED is as illustrated in Fig. 3-3: When the device is forward-biased, electrons cross the p-n junction from the n-type material and recombine with holes in the p-type material. These free electrons are in the conduction band and at a higher energy than the holes in the valence band. When recombination takes place, the recombining electrons release energy in the form photons. A large exposed surface area on one layer of the semiconductive material permits the photons to be emitted as visible light. This process is called electroluminescence. Various impurities are added during the doping process to establish the wavelength of the emitted light. The wavelength determines the color of visible light. Fig.3 3: Electroluminescence in a forward-biased LED. 14
15 Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Application The seven segment display is an example of LEDs use for display of decimal digits. Fig.3-4: The 7-segment LED display. 15
16 Diode Arrays Multiple diodes can be packaged together inan integrated circuit (IC). Common Anode Common Cathode A variety of combinations exist. 16
17 Photodiode Photodiode is a p-n junction that can convert light energy into electrical energy. It operates in reverse bias voltage (V R ), as shown in Fig. 3-18, where I λ is the reverse light current. It has a small transparent window that allows light to strike the p-n junction. The resistance of a photodiode is calculated by the formula as follows: R R V R I Fig.3-5: Photodiode. 17
18 Varactor Diode Varactor is a type of p-n junction diode that operates in reverse bias. The capacitance of the junction is controlled by the amount of reverse bias. Varactor diodes are also referred to as varicaps or tuning diodes and they are commonly used in communication systems. Fig.3-6: Varactor diode symbol Basic Operation The capacitance of a reverse-biased varactor junction is found as: C A d where, C = the total junction capacitance. A = the plate area. ε = the dielectric constant (permittivity). Fig.3-7: Reverse-biased varactor d = the width of the depletion region diode acts as a variable capacitor. (plate separation). 18
19 Varactor Diode The ability of a varactor to act as a voltage-controlled capacitor is demonstrated in Fig Fig.3-8: Varactor diode capacitance varies with reverse voltage. As the reverse-bias voltage increases, the depletion region widens, increasing the plate separation, thus decreasing the capacitance. When the reverse-bias voltage decreases, the depletion region narrows, thus increasing the capacitance. 19
20 Varactor Diode Application A major application of varactor is in tuning circuits, for example, VHF, UHF, and satelite receivers utilize varactors. Varactors are also used in cellular communications. When used in a parallel resonant circuit, as shown in Fig. 3-11, the varactor acts as a variable capacitor, thus allowing the resonant frequency to be adjusted by a variable voltage level. Fig.3-9: A resonant band-pass filter. 20
21 Other Types of Diodes The Schottky Diode A Schottky diode symbol is shown in Fig. 3-10(a). The Schottky diode s significant characteristic is its fast switching speed. This is useful for high frequencies and digital applications. It is not a typical diode in that it does not have a p-n junction. Instead, it consists of a doped semiconductor (usually n-type) and metal bound together, as shown in Fig. 3-10(b). Fig.3-10: (a) Schottky diode symbol and (b) basic internal construction of a Schottky diode. 21
22 Other Types of Diodes The Laser Diode The laser diode (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) produces a monochromatic (single color) light. Laser diodes in conjunction with photodiodes are used to retrieve data from compact discs. Fig.3-11: Basic laser diode construction and operation. 22
23 Other Types of Diodes The PIN Diode The pin diode is also used in mostly microwave frequency applications. Its variable forward series resistance characteristic is used for attenuation, modulation, and switching. In reverse bias it exhibits a nearly constant capacitance. Fig.3-12: PIN diode 23
24 Other Types of Diodes Current Regulator Diode Current regulator diodes keeps a constant current value over a specified range of forward voltages ranging from about 1.5 V to 6 V. Fig.3-13: Symbol for a current regulator diode. 24
25 Troubleshooting Although power supply outputs generally use IC regulators, zener diodes can be used as a voltage regulator when less precise regulation and low current is acceptable. The meter readings of 15.5 V for no-load check and 14.8 V for full-load test indicate approximately the expected output voltage of 15 V. A properly functioning zener will work to maintain the output voltage within certain limits despite changes in load. Fig.3-14: Zener-regulated power supply test. 25
26 Case-1: Diode Zener Open In no-load check, output voltage is 24 V as shown in Fig. 3-15(a). This indicates an open circuit between the output terminal and ground. Therefore, there is no voltage dropped between the filtered output of the power supply and the output terminal. In full-load check, output voltage is 14.8 V due to the voltage-divider action of the 180 Ω series resistor and the 291 Ω load. The result for full-load check is too close to the normal reading to be reliable fault indication and thus, the no-load check is used to verify the problem. Figure 3-15: Indications of an open zener. 26
27 Case-2: Incorrect Zener Voltage As indicated in Fig. 3-16, no-load check that result in an output voltage greater than the maximum zener voltage but less than the power supply output voltage indicates that the zener has failed. The 20 V output in this case is 4.5 V higher than the expected value of 15.5 V. That additional voltage indicates the zener is faulty or the wrong type has been installed. Fig. 3-16: Indication of excessive zener impedance. 27
