This Design Idea describes a versatile test circuit for zener diodes after yet another misread zener diode had infiltrated the ranks of 1N4148 diodes assembled on a pc board. As a bonus, the circuit ...

Diodes whose reverse-breakdown characteristics are controlled precisely during manufacture are called as Zener diodes and are intended specifically for operation in the reverse breakdown mode ...

Step into an immersive, AI-driven simulation lab designed to ignite curiosity, fuel discovery, and empower you to explore, experiment, and excel with Zener Diodes, where theory transforms into ...

The term White came from the White Light. A white light is a mixture of all lights in equal density. So like white light is the mixture of all lights, White noise is a random signal which has an equal ...

Normally, when you want a low DC voltage from the AC line, you think about using a transformer of some kind. [RCD66] noticed that an AC monitor meter must have some sort of power supply but had no ...

The circuit may be powered with a DC-Adapter $12VDC$ or $24VDC$, obviously the maximum measurable zener voltage depends on the supply voltage. The circuit allows you to test different types of diodes, ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...

In the modern world, we use batteries in almost every electronic gadget from your handheld mobile phone, digital thermometer, smartwatch to Electric Vehicles, aeroplanes, satellites, and even Robotic ...
