When a crystal diode is used as a rectifier, the most important consideration is ____________?

Correct answer: D. PIC rating

  • A. forward characteristic
  • B. doping level
  • C. reverse characteristic
  • D. PIC rating

Explanation

When a diode is used for rectification, it must withstand the maximum reverse voltage applied during the nonconducting half-cycle. This peak inverse voltage rating is the key consideration, although the option says PIC rather than the usual PIV.
