Good day,all
As we know: the main characteristic of the diode is the unidirectional conductivity, that is, under the action of the forward voltage, the conduction resistance is very small, and the resistance is great or infinity under the action of the reverse voltage. Because of the characteristics of the diode, the cordless telephone often uses it in rectifying, isolating, stabilizing, polarity protection, coding control, FM modulation and static noise. The crystal diodes used in the telephone can be divided into rectifying diodes (such as 1N4004), isolated diodes (such as 1N4148),
I have 2 PWM ports, one generates 5V PWM and another at 3V. But only 1 will be generating at a time. However, their output is going to a same wire or pin. So, to avoid the current to pass into each other, I want to put diodes on each port as protection. For this, I would need fast switching diodes as PWM frequency is KHz or few MHz. I searched for fast switching diodes and found 1N4148. It does what I need but its forward voltage is 1V. So, for 3V and 5V, it will blow up ? or am I understanding the datasheet wrong ?
I read in this answer that forward voltage is voltage drop ? so if its voltage drop, whats the max voltage that it can support ? also 3V will come out as 2V, so I will be required to level it up to 3V again, right ?
