We always enjoy [w2aew’s] videos, and his latest on zener diodes is no exception. In it, he asserts that all Zener diodes are not created equal. Why? You’ll have to watch the video belo… ...

A tutorial on zener diode and how to use them as voltage clamps, voltage regulators, and how to create audio distortion circuits.

In this tutorial, we will study the behavior of a diode reverse-biased by a Dirac pulse, subsequently considering the special (and unpublished) case of a Zener diode.
