Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their reverse breakdown region, but Zener diodes are the exception to this rule. Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their ...

Transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes are used to clamp transient voltages to prevent other components from being damaged. Transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes are used to clamp transient ...

For beginners, diode types can sometimes be a bit of mental gymnastics. If all it does is act like a magic pixie check valve, why are there so many kinds? Schottky diodes are typically hard to ...

Abstract: This paper presents an assessment of electrical device measurements using functional data analysis (FDA) on a test case of Zener diode devices. We employ three techniques from FDA to ...
