When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

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 ...

Okay, I'm building a serial link cable for my TI calculator and the plans call for two zener diodes. What exactly is a zener diode? Is that just a regular diode, because I have some diodes, and if ...

For hard-switched power topologies, Infineon is planning a 100V GaN transistors with a integrated Schottky diode. “Due to the lack of body diode in hard-switching applications, GaN-based topologies ...
