Among these alternatives, PIV rating of which diode is lower than that of equivalent vacuum diode?

  • PIV rating of Crystal Diode is lower than that of equivalent vacuum diode.
  • A crystal diode, also known as a semiconductor diode, is made up of a p-n junction between two doped semiconductor materials.
  • When forward-biased, it conducts current easily, but when reverse-biased, it exhibits a very high resistance, allowing only a small reverse leakage current to flow through it.
  • The PIV rating of a crystal diode is the maximum reverse-bias voltage that it can withstand before breakdown occurs and current starts to flow through the diode in the reverse direction.
