    A document discusses diodes and transistors and their use as switches. It covers diodes functioning as switches when forward or reverse biased, with the forward biased state as the ON state and reverse biased as OFF. It also discusses the linear characteristics and breakdown properties of PN junction diodes, and the design and analysis of transistors.

    Diode as a switch
     A PN junction diode can be used as a switch.

     When diode is forward biased, the switch is said to be in the ON state.

     When it is reverse-biased, the switch is in the OFF state.
