GI818-E3/54 Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The GI818-E3/54 is a single, low voltage usage rectifier diode. It is a passive, two-terminal electronic component that provides a unidirectional current flow. It contains two regions called P-type and N-type semiconductor materials. It is most commonly used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).

GI818-E3/54 Application Field

The GI818-E3/54 is used in a variety of applications. It is often used in power supplies for voltage rectification, for surge suppression, for electroplating, and for auto ignition systems. It is also used in the development of solar cells, for battery charging, and for sensors and signal processing. In addition, the GI818-E3/54 is also used in telecommunication systems and personal computers.

GI818-E3/54 Working Principle

The basic principles of the GI818-E3/54 are based on silicon semiconductor technology. The semiconductor materials used are N-type and P-type silicon. These materials contain positively and negatively charged carriers that create a junction, known as a diode. Its function is to allow the flow of current in only one direction, blocking the opposite direction. When voltage is applied across the diode, the junction will permit current to flow. This process is called forward biasing. With reverse biasing, the junction will not allow current to flow and will serve to block the voltage instead.
