East type diodes are in their most a Union 2

This type of diode is very difficult

In Venezuela different control

They are built so that

Diode Zener LED diode Laser diode photodiodes

 photodiodes
The photodiodes are diodes provided with a transparent window whose reverse current
can be controlled in a wide range by regulating the amount of light passing through the
window and impinges on the PN junction. A greater amount of incident light, the greater
he currentreverse produced that a greater number of minority carriers is generated, and
ice versa. Arewidely used as light sensors in photography, lighting, counters objects,
ystems safety, optical communications receivers and other applications

Both countries use photodiode technology since in these 2

2 countries share technology LED diode together

since both places there are hundreds of
thousands of modern lighting systems that
require the use of such diodes
 Laser diode
Similar the LED diode such is the most common form of
generated a laser. It applies inmultiple fields as communications
fiber optics pointers or readers code of bars

In both countries you exist hundreds of radio stations and companies

Telecommunication signals, fiber optic and audio that need this
Kind of god for full operation
 DIODE Zener
A diode Zener is a semiconductor that is distinguished by its
ability to maintain a
constant voltage at its terminals when they are reverse biased,
and therefore
It used as control elements, they are found capable of ½ watt to
50 watt and
for voltages from 2.4 volts to 200 volts.
diode Zener It biased behaves as a normal diode, the voltage
It remains near 0.6 to 0.7 V.

In these 2 countries there are thousands of electronic

aparaos that contralan and use this kind of God as
computers, televisions, audio equipment and hundreds
of other devices in common
