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.

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we will study the behavior of a diode reverse-biased by a Dirac pulse, subsequently considering the special (and unpublished) case of a Zener diode.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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
