This Design Idea describes a versatile test circuit for zener diodes after yet another misread zener diode had infiltrated the ranks of 1N4148 diodes assembled on a pc board. As a bonus, the circuit ...

To measure a zener diode’s breakdown voltage, you need a dc voltage source whose voltage exceeds that of the zener voltage. In Figure 1, resistor R SER provides voltage drop between V IN and V ZEN. In ...

Normally, when you want a low DC voltage from the AC line, you think about using a transformer of some kind. [RCD66] noticed that an AC monitor meter must have some sort of power supply but had no ...

According to Microsemi, its new family of ultra-sharp knee Zener diodes offers four times the voltage regulation and a 40-fold improvement in typical lower leakage current versus comparable devices.

Dublin, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Zener Diode Market Report 2024" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. This Zener Diode market report covers industry characteristics, size ...

Four New Jersey cities have begun testing new street lamps powered by light-emitting diodes. The new LED lamps are expected to reduce energy consumption significantly, have a longer life expectancy ...

[Hans] wanted to see the frequency response of a bandpass filter but didn’t have a lot of test equipment. Using an RTL-SDR dongle, some software and a quickly made noise generator, he still managed to ...
