  • Question

  • Assertion (A): PIN diode is used as a fast switch.

    Reason (R): PIN diode has very high resistance when reverse biased and very low resistance when forward biased.


  • Options
  • A. Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A
  • B. Both A and R are correct but R is not correct explanation of A
  • C. A is correct but R is wrong
  • D. A is wrong but R is correct

  • Correct Answer
  • Both A and R are correct and R is correct explanation of A 

    Explanation
    A PIN diode has an intrinsic (i) layer between p and n layers. When reverse bias is applied depletion layers are formed at p-i and i-n junctions.

    The effective/width of depletion layer increases by the width of i layer. It can be used as a voltage controlled attenuator.

    At high frequencies the rectification effect ceases and impedance of diode is effectively that of i layer.

    This impedance varies with the applied bias. It is used in high frequency switching circuits, limiters, modulators etc.
