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 ...

Dioda zener este special concepută pentru crearea unei tensiuni de defalcare inversă scăzută în echipamentele electronice. În funcție de echipamentul electronic, pentru a fi utilizate cu succes, ...

The presented solution for measuring voltage of Zener diodes using Arduino is completely new and original. The circuit uses LM317 as a constant current source and the whole measurement process is ...

In this page I present my approach to building a Zener diode tester. There are of course several DIY versions on the internet, but I have a few requirements... I am often confronted with switching ...

Diodes whose reverse-breakdown characteristics are controlled precisely during manufacture are called as Zener diodes and are intended specifically for operation in the reverse breakdown mode ...

Learn how Zener diodes help in electronics by regulating voltage, protecting against high voltage, and maintaining signal quality. Zener diodes are a fundamental component in various electronic ...

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 ...
