Semi-Conductors Flashcards
1
Q
What are the two most commonly-used specifications for a junction diode?
A
Maximum forward current and PIV (peak inverse voltage).
2
Q
What limits the maximum forward current in a junction diode?
A
the junction temperature
3
Q
MOSFETs are manufactured with THIS protective device built into their gate to protect the device from static charges and excessive voltages:
A
Zener Diode
4
Q
What are the two basic types of junction field-effect transistors?
A
N-Channel and P-Channel
5
Q
A common emitter amplifier has:
A
More voltage gain than a common collector
6
Q
How does the input impedance of a field-effect transistor compare with that of a bipolar transistor?
A
An FET has high input impedance; a bipolar transistor has low input impedance.
