齐纳二极管（Zener diode），又叫稳压二极管，利用PN结反向击穿状态，其电流可在很大范围内变化而电压基本不变，因此，常用来制成起稳压作用的二极管。很多初学者常常不能从根本上很好地理解其工作过程，因此，在应用上带来困惑。 在通常情况下，反向偏 ...

The circuit was designed to provide a means for measuring the operating voltage of zener diodes before applying on a circuit. Zener Diode – a special kind of diode that permits the flow of current in ...

The Zener diode is similar to a general-purpose signal diode which consists of a silicon PN junction. It is a special kind of diode in which current is allowed to flow in the forward direction in the ...

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 below to find out.

As active devices go, it doesn’t get much simpler than a diode. Two terminals. Current flows in one direction and not in the other. Simple, right? Well, then there are examples with useful side ...
