  • What is a Blocking Diode?

    By controlling the current flow direction, diodes can be used to accomplish different functions in electronic devices. Diodes are available in different types, each specifically made to achieve certain functionalities in circuits. For example, to achieve high-speed switching functionality in circuits, tunnel diodes are usually used; they are highly doped making the depletion layer smaller…
