The circuit has been constructed to test and measure the voltage rating of zener diodes. To be able to test the voltage rating of a zener diode up to 50 VDC, a small transformer and a single 555 timer ...

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 ...

Zener-Diode-as-Voltage-Regulator' This project demonstrates the use of a Zener diode as a voltage regulator to maintain a constant output voltage under varying input voltages (line regulation) and ...
