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 ...

Some of my recent columns discuss the functions and advantages of zener-diode references (references 1, 2, and 3). Although zener diodes are stable and precise voltage references, they require high ...

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.

The Zener diode is similar to a general-purpose signal diode which consists of a silicon PN junction. It is a special kind of diode in which current is allowed to flow in the forward direction in the ...

This voltage regulator delivers smooth control of a constant voltage from 0 to 8 V. It protects the load against short circuits and indicates connection, overload, and output level. The series chain ...

Diodes' new series of fixed and adjustable output linear regulators is designed to reduce power consumption and increase regulated voltage output stability. The AP7362 and AP7363 have a dropout ...
