Diode is an electronic device made of semiconductor materials (silicon, selenium, germanium, etc.) . The diode has two electrodes, a positive electrode, called the anode, and a negative electrode, called the cathode, which conducts when a positive voltage is applied between the two stages of the diode and cuts off when a reverse voltage is applied. Diode conduction and cutoff, then the equivalent of the switch on and off .

The diode has unidirectional conductivity, and the direction of current flow is from the anode through the tube to the cathode when it is on.

Diodes are among the first semiconductor devices to be created and are used in a wide range of applications. Especially in a variety of electronic circuits, the use of diodes and resistors, capacitors, inductors and other components for a reasonable connection to form different functions of the circuit, you can achieve the rectification of alternating current, modulated signal detection, limiting and clamping and voltage regulation of the supply voltage and other functions .

Diodes can be found in common radio circuits or in other household electrical products or industrial control circuits.
