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 ...

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 ...

[Afroman] is back again with another great tutorial video on the basics of electronics. This time it’s zener diodes. Page three or four of every ‘beginners guide to electronics’ covers a diode as, “a ...

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 ...

Karl Zener is off to class. It’s a recent Tuesday afternoon at La Habra High, and when the fifth period bell rings at 12:48, Zener leaves the administration building for Matt Fritter’s Advanced ...

Emma Zener needed seven points to reach a career milestone of 1,000. The senior sharpshooter for La Habra High School heard about the seven all day leading up to the Highlanders’ game against Sunny ...

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 ...
