What is knee voltage for GAAs?
Knee voltage, also known as threshold voltage, in Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) refers to the minimum voltage required to initiate significant current flow in a GaAs device, such as a transistor or diode. This voltage is crucial for determining the operational characteristics of GaAs-based electronic components. Typically, knee voltage in GaAs devices is lower compared to silicon counterparts, making GaAs favorable for high-frequency and high-efficiency applications.
Cut in voltage?
The forward voltage at which the current through the junction starts increasing rapidly, is called the knee voltage or cut-in voltage.
What is 0.37v and 0.63v in RC circuit?
0.63 is the knee voltage & 0.37 is the cutoff voltage
What is the Difference between Si and Ge diodes?
The significant operational difference between a Si diode and a Ge diode is that Si diodes have a knee voltage of 0.7V needed to allow current flow and Ge diodes have an operational voltage of 0.3V to allow current flow.
What happens to the current when the voltage becomes limited at the knee?
A: Perfect example is a zener. As input voltage increases the current at the knee increases almost linearly at the zener voltage. If the inputs varies up or down then the current will vary up or down at the preset voltage making a zener a voltage regulator because of this feature
