Basics:Diodes[edit source | editbeta] Conduct electricity easily in one direction, among more specific behaviors. Diode, Rectifier, Bridge rectifier Schottky diode, hot carrier diode – super fast diode with lower forward voltage drop Zener diode – Passes current in reverse direction to provide a constant voltage reference Transient voltage suppression diode (TVS), Unipolar or Bipolar – used to absorb high-voltage spikes Varactor, Tuning diode, Varicap, Variable capacitance diode – A diode whose AC capacitance varies according to the DC voltage applied. Light-emitting diode (LED) – A diode that emits light LASER diode – A semiconductor laser Photodiode – Passes current in proportion to incident light Avalanche photodiode Photodiode with internal gain Solar Cell, photovoltaic cell, PV array or panel, produces power from light DIAC (Diode for Alternating Current), Trigger Diode, SIDAC) – Often used to trigger an SCR Constant-current diode Peltier cooler – A semiconductor heat pump
