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.
