A tutorial on the Zener Diode and how to use them as voltage clamps, voltage regulators, and how to create audio distortion circuits. The zener diode works as if there are two regular diodes in ...

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.

Zener diode is a diode that keeps the voltage applied to its pins constant. When zener diodes are connected to the circuit in the right direction, it works like a normal silicon diode. In other words, ...

In this tutorial, we will study the behavior of a diode reverse-biased by a Dirac pulse, subsequently considering the special (and unpublished) case of a Zener diode. In this tutorial, we will study ...

The Zener diode leads if directly polarized, as a typical diode. Unlike a typical diode, it also leads if reverse-polarized, but only if the voltage threshold (Vz) is exceeded Like the typical diode, ...

In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...

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 ...

My recent columns discussed the physics and applications of discrete-zener-diode references, and the conclusion they reached is that discrete zener diodes make poor references because of tolerance ...

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 ...

Here, Doug Mercer and Antoniu Miclaus of Analog Devices explore Zener diode regulators. A voltage regulator is a circuit used to maintain a constant output voltage at a load independent of changes in ...

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, ...
