What is a diode?
Boston
A University
device
that allows current to flow in one direction
Slideshow Title Goes Here
 Forward Bias Voltage
 For current to flow, diodes require a forward bias voltage
 In an ideal diode, voltage drop remains constant

 Relationship to Diode circuits
 Once the diode reaches the turn on voltage, 𝑉𝑅 increases with 𝑉𝑆
 Current through the circuit increases with 𝑉𝑅
+ 𝑉𝐷  Decreasing 𝑅 also increases with 𝑉𝑅

How Do LEDs Work?
Boston
LED
Materials
University Slideshow Title Goes Here
 Semiconducting materials
 Current can only flow in one direction
 Passing through the LED, electrons lose energy
 Lost energy creates photons
 Photons have discrete wavelength related to band-gap
 Band-gap width and energy
 The wider the band-gap, the greater the energy of the photon released
 Specialized materials & processes required to achieve wide band-gap
 Planck’s Relation:

Electrical Power
Boston
Power
is the rate that energy is consumed.

𝑃 = 𝑉𝐼
This is another one of those important equations…
 Power is measured in Watts [𝑊] or [J/s]
 Energy sources (such as batteries) produce power
while the load of the circuit absorbs power.
