forward conduction การใช้
- The diode must immediately enter into forward conduction mode as the driving current is interrupted.
- When diodes switch from forward conduction to reverse cut-off, a reverse current flows briefly as stored charge is removed.
- By injecting minority carriers ( holes ) from the collector p + region into the n-drift region during forward conduction, the resistance of the n-drift region is considerably reduced.
- It operated similarly to the thermionic vacuum tube diode, but the gas in the tube ionized during forward conduction, giving it a much lower forward voltage drop so it could rectify lower voltages.
- This reduces the overall capacitance and the capacitance range by half, but possesses the advantage of reducing the AC component of voltage across each device and symmetrical distortion should the AC component possess enough amplitude to bias the varicaps into forward conduction.
- The Turn-OFF switching transient of silicon-based power bipolar semiconductor devices, caused by stored charge in the device during the forward conduction state, limits switching speed of the device, which in turn limits the efficiency of the application it is used within.
- Now suppose that the voltage bias abruptly changes, switching from its stationary positive value to a higher magnitude constant negative value : then, since a certain amount of charge has been stored during forward conduction, diode resistance is still low ( " i . e . the anode-to-cathode voltage "'V AK "'has nearly the same forward conduction value " ).

- If the control signal is initially greater than V3 by more than a few tenths of a volt, transistor Q9 and Q10 are " on " ( biased into the forward conduction region ) and transistors Q7 and Q8 are " off " ( biased so that essentially no current flows ), resulting in the output nodes being pulled up to Vdd, causing the sampling gate to be turned " off " ( the output nodes contain no signal ).
- An IGBT features a significantly lower forward voltage drop compared to a conventional MOSFET in higher blocking voltage rated devices, althrough, MOSFETS exhibit much lower forward voltage at lower current densities due to the absence of a diode Vf in the IGBT's output BJT . As the blocking voltage rating of both MOSFET and IGBT devices increases, the depth of the n-drift region must increase and the doping must decrease, resulting in roughly square relationship decrease in forward conduction versus blocking voltage capability of the device.
