Hi,
Does anyone know if there are such characteristics that are tell tale signs of diode degradation? I'm not sure if diodes fail short or open, I'd have thought open, but I'm not sure.
I was wondering if as a diode gets old the forward bias voltage might increase? Or the diode power loss per forward conduction Amp might increase? Something to indicate where the diode is on it's lifespan.
Cheers!
