DIODA (DIODE)

What is diode?

Diode is an active electronic component that function for conduct electric current to one way and  inhibit the flow of electricity from the opposite direction. There are two electrodes of diode named anode and cathode.

Based diodes function consists of:
1. Diodes Rectifier or Diodes Ordinary
    Diodes Rectifier is generally made of silicon that function as a rectifier alternating current (AC) to
    direct current (DC).

2. Zener diode (Zener Diode)
   Zener diode serves as a safety circuit after the voltage is determined by the Zener diode. 
   That voltage is called the Zener voltage.

3. LED (Light Emitting Diode) or Light Emission Diode 
    LED is a diode that can emit monochromatic light.

4. Photo Diodes (Photo Diode)  
    Photo Diodes is sensitive to the light-emitting diode that is often used as a sensor.

5. Schottky diodes (SCR or Silicon Control Rectifier) 
    SCR is a diode duty as a controller.

6. Diode Laser (Laser Diode)
    Diode laser can radiate light emitting diode laser. Laser diodes are often abbreviated with LD.
