Give the types of special purpose diode and their application and function.
Step-Recovery Diode Frequency multipliers, pulse Produces short, sharp pulses due
shaping to charge storage and rapid
switching.
Gold-Doped Diode Microwave detectors, mixers Provides a low junction
capacitance for high-frequency
operation.
Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) Rectifiers, power converters Provides low forward voltage
drop and fast switching.
