Electronic Devices - Special Diodes : Learners who are fond of learning physics and students who are pursuing engineering. this particular course will be very helpful. This course mainly suitable for first year of electronic, electrical, electronics and instrumentation and also for biomedical students. Basics of electronic devices, special diodes and power devices are covered. Assume a piece of wire, current flows from one end to the other end. instead of wire if we have an electronic devices, how current flows from one of the device to the other end of the device. These types of characteristic are addressed in detail. The course starts with PNJunction diodes and goes through all special diodes to till some power devices. In between bang gap theory is also carefully addressed for better understanding of the course. The curriculum overs almost fifty to sixty percentage of any electronic devices engineering course. I strongly recommend this course for first year engineering students.

The course curriculum consists of

• PN Junction Diode and Zener Diode & Its Characteristics

• UJT - Uni junction Transistor and its Characteristics

• SCR - Silicon Controlled Rectifier & SCR characteristic

• SCR Applications - Switch & Pulse

• Application of SCR - over Voltage Protection

• TRIAC and its Characteristics
