Clamping Diode Symbol. When the diode is zero biased the voltage potential across the diode is zero. Diodes in the clipping circuit.
In non conducting state the diode conducts with less voltage. Diodes as a rectifier. A transient voltage suppression diode can respond to over voltages faster than other common over voltage protection components such as varistors or gas discharge tubes gdt.
It is also called as snap off diode or charge storage diode.
Diodes in logical gates. When the diode is zero biased the voltage potential across the diode is zero. Following are the applications and uses of the diode. The output waveform replicates the shape of the input waveform exactly except it has one edge clamped to zero voltage or a bias voltage.
