Manual for K-Notes
Why K-Notes?
Towards the end of preparation, a student has lost the time to revise all the chapters
from his / her class notes / standard text books. This is the reason why K-Notes is
specifically intended for Quick Revision and should not be considered as comprehensive
study material.
A 40 page or less notebook for each subject which contains all concepts covered in GATE
Curriculum in a concise manner to aid a student in final stages of his/her preparation. It
is highly useful for both the students as well as working professionals who are preparing
for GATE as it comes handy while traveling long distances.
It is highly recommended to use K-Notes in the last 2 months before GATE Exam
(November end onwards).
Once you finish the entire K-Notes for a particular subject, you should practice the
respective Subject Test / Mixed Question Bag containing questions from all the Chapters
to make best use of it.

Diodes
Representation:
A: Anode K : Cathode
The voltage at which the charged particles start crossing the junction is called as cut in voltage
or Threshold voltage.
It is represented as VAK V .
When VAK V , depletion region exists and no charge carriers cross the junction, therefore
I 0
D
When VAK V , number of charged particles crossing the junction increases & the current
through the diode increase, non linearly or exponentially.
Diode in the condition is said to be forward biased.

V = Thermal voltage =

K = Boltzmann constant
T = Temp. in k
q = charge of one e
V = 26mv at room temperature
T
= intrinsic factor
When V 0 , diode is said to be in reverse biased condition & no majority carriers cross the
AK
depletion region, hence I 0

Clippers
It is a transmission circuit which transmits a part of i/p voltage either above the reference
voltage or below the reference voltage or b/w the two reference voltages.

Zener Diode
A heavily doped a si diode which has sharp breakdown characteristics is called Zener Diode.
When Zener Diode is forward biased, it acts as a normal PN junction diode.
For an ideal zener diode, voltage across diode remains constant in breakdown region.
