A hardware project designed to provide a regulated DC supply using a Zener diode, eliminating the need for disposable batteries in low-power electronic devices like multimeters. To develop a stable ...

Abstract: This paper presents an assessment of electrical device measurements using functional data analysis (FDA) on a test case of Zener diode devices. We employ three techniques from FDA to ...

Among the many features offered by electronic simulation software, the .MEAS directive represents a quite powerful tool for analyzing and quantifying the behavior of simulated circuits. The .MEAS ...

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 ...

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.

Zeners are commonly used as low-current sources for bias voltage functions, but the proper voltage reference can give the same result and with much-lower dissipation and no performance tradeoffs.
