Dear sir,

    what is diode characteristics?


    and why it is forward biased for proper functioning?

The diode, as a zero-order approximation, can be considered to be a one-way current flow device that allows current to flow from the anode to the cathode but not in reverse.

As first-order model, the diode forward current is modeled as I=Is*exp(V/kt), and therefore has a logarithmic current vs. voltage characteristic.  For currents in the range of >1uA in typical diode, this results in an apparent voltage threshold of around 0.5 to 0.7 volts.

Typical diodes have reverse breakdown voltages anywhere from 5 to 100 volts, depending on the application and construction of the diode.  Reverse breakdown is the reverse-bias threshold above which the diode experiences avalanche multiplication of carriers in the depletion region.
