For the longest time, Zener diode regulators have been one of those circuits that have been widely shared and highly misunderstood. First timers have tried to use it to power up their experiments and ...

There are times when you need to bias a low-current load and simply didn’t want to add another voltage regulator, or where you need a reasonable level of voltage accuracy, so a simple voltage divider ...

The LM317 voltage regulator is well know for its versatility and ability to perform many different and varied functions. The standard and classic is the adjustable positive voltage regulator with a ...

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 ...
