You're on a roll — 3(a) (i) • Breakdown voltage is the reverse voltage at which a diode begins to conduct a large current due to avalanche or Zener breakdown, potentially damaging the diode if not current-limited. • Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) is the maximum reverse voltage a diode can withstand without breaking down, specifying its safe operating limit in reverse bias. 3(a) (ii) When temperature increases, the I-V characteristics of a diode change: • In forward bias, the forward voltage required to achieve a certain current decreases. This means the I-V curve shifts to the left, indicating the diode turns on at a lower voltage. • In reverse bias, the reverse saturation current (I_S) increases significantly with temperature. This leads to a higher leakage current in the reverse direction. The breakdown voltage generally decreases slightly with increasing temperature for Zener diodes, while for avalanche diodes, it can increase. Send me the next one 📸
