Okay, I'm building a serial link cable for my TI calculator and the plans call for two zener diodes. What exactly is a zener diode? Is that just a regular diode, because I have some diodes, and if ...

In the world of electronics, a Zener diode stands out as an essential tool for regulating voltage and protecting circuits. But what makes it special? This guide is designed to break it down for you in ...

In Figure 1, we can see a classical circuit. In it, there are three main components: the Zener diode, the op amp, and the transistor. Let’s perform some simulation at various nodes, changing the ...

Nowadays some first-rate voltage references are available. Take the LM385 for example: this is available for different voltages and even comes in an adjustable version. What is more, the current ...

[Afroman] is back again with another great tutorial video on the basics of electronics. This time it’s zener diodes. Page three or four of every ‘beginners guide to electronics’ covers a diode as, “a ...

Suppose the zener diode on the circuit has a breakdown voltage of 10 V. What are the minimum and maximum zener currents? The applied voltage may vary from 20 to 40 V. Ideally, a zener diode acts like ...

When forward-biased, the Zener diode behaves like a normal silicon diode with PN junction, allowing a current to pass from the anode to the cathode When forward-biased, the Zener diode behaves like a ...

Nexperia has announced two enhancements to its extensive Zener diode portfolio that eradicate undesirable overswing and noise behaviour – making a major advancement in Zener technology. Firstly, ...

A hardware project designed to provide a regulated DC supply using a Zener diode, eliminating the need for disposable batteries in low-power electronic devices like multimeters. To develop a stable ...
