Point contact diodes (PCD) are widely used in high frequency applications, where their low capacitance and high capacitance mismatch are beneficial. This diode type is often used in applications from 0.1 MHz to 30 GHz, which enables it to perform well in a variety of applications, such as noise filtering and signal switching. The ES2DPX is an example of a point contact diode, and it has a wide variety of uses in the industry. This article will discuss the ES2DPX application field and working principle.

ES2DPX is a double-point contact diode, so its structure consists of two components. These two components are: a P-type semiconductor bar and an N-type semiconductor bar which are rigidly connected together with a metal contact in the middle acting as a point of electrical contact.

The application field of ES2DPX is quite varied. One example is the use of two such diodes in a balun circuit. A balun circuit is a wide-band circuit used to match two balanced impedances. Two ES2DPX diodes are mounted parallel to each other in a "balun bridge" configuration. The diodes can then act as an ideal matched balun for any impedance from 0 Ohm to 9 Ohm. This makes them highly desirable for use in a wide variety of applications that require impedance matching.

ES2DPX is also used for telecom switching and crossover applications. This is because it is able to provide a low on-resistance and low-capacitance mismatch when used in a DC blocking circuit. Additionally, due to its low capacitance, it has very low power loss at high frequencies and excellent noise immunity. This makes it an ideal choice for telecom switching and crossover applications.

The working principle of the ES2DPX diode is that, like all diodes, it operates in a non-linear fashion. This means that the ratio of forward current to reverse current is not a constant. The same thing applies to the voltage across the diode. When the forward bias is applied to the ES2DPX, the electric field is concentrated at the contact area and the electrons inject from the N-type layer to the P-type layer, thus allowing the current to flow in one direction. Conversely, when a reverse bias voltage is applied, the electric field is in the opposite direction and the current stops flowing.

In summary, ES2DPX is a type of double-point contact diode that can be used for a wide variety of applications, from balun circuits to telecom switching. It has a low capacitance and a low-capacitance mismatch, along with excellent noise immunity, making it an ideal choice for these types of applications. Moreover, the working principle of these diodes is based on the non-linear nature of their operation, allowing them to control the current flow direction.
