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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...
