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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: In this work the study will start from the real equivalent circuit of a Zener diode and a model in SPICE will be created whose voltage varies with temperature and current. SPICE model ...

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 ...

Fluke Corp. has introduced a new, easy-to-use utility multimeter designed to help utility workers, linemen and electricians to quickly diagnose electrical problems. Fluke Corp. has introduced a new, ...
