DIODE
CONCEPTS CIRCUIT

› PN junction
› Limits the current direction
into one flow

› 1. Open – Sacramento/ Ramento

› Flat waveform / Half-waveform
› 2. Closed – Tismo / Garcia
› Sine wave / Cosine Wave
TRANSISTOR
CONCEPTS CIRCUIT

› PNP junction or NPN junction

› Controls current flow; can be
used for switching and
amplification

› 1. Open - Ramento
› Off LED
› 2. Closed – Boncacas
› On LED
