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 ...

Zener diode is a silicon semiconductor device that permits current to flow in either a forward or reverse direction. The diode consists of a special, heavily doped p-n junction, designed to conduct in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
