DIO Computing Abbreviation

Diode

A two-terminal device that rectifies signals (passes current in only one direction). Most commonly, a semiconductor consisting of a P-N junction, but dioides can also be realized using vacuum tube, point-contact, metal-semiconductor junction (Schottky), and other technologies. A semiconductor device that only allows current to pass through it in one direction, cathode to anode.Also, a classification of semiconductor devices having only one junction.
