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 was designed to provide a means for measuring the operating voltage of zener diodes before applying on a circuit. Zener Diode – a special kind of diode that permits the flow of current in ...

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 ...

Abstract: Innovation in GaN semiconductors has improved aspect of power capability, switching speed and size. However, their short-circuit withstand time is low compared to SiC and IGBT switches. It ...

[Afroman] is back again with another great tutorial video on the basics of electronics. This time it’s zener diodes. Page three or four of every ‘beginners guide to electronics’ covers a diode as, “a ...

Voltage fluctuations and power cuts can damage electrical equipment and goods like submersible pumps, air-conditioners, television sets, and refrigerators. The Appliances Protection circuit presented ...

Thank you very much for your insightful howto on adding wifi to the bonavita Kettle. Like other Bonavita customers, my bonavita Kettle recently stopped working. After opening it, I can see the ...
