About this document
Understanding Shockley Diodes by honda7096 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the operation of a Shockley diode, which is a four-layer PNPN semiconductor device that behaves like two interconnected bipolar transistors. It explains that a Shockley diode can be turned on, or latched, by either exceeding its breakover voltage or critical rate of voltage rise. Once latched on, it will remain on until the current passing through it drops below the low-current dropout threshold, at which point it will turn off. The document also introduces silicon-controlled rectifi
