You know just what to do. The ground pin of a LM7805 connects to the cathode of a TL431 programmable Zener diode pulled from an old scrapped TV. The diode is referenced to a voltage divider ...

They have none of the special skills you’d find in tunnel, Gunn, varicap, Zener, and avalanche diodes, or even LEDs, instead they are simply a one-way valve for electrical current. Connect ...

Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation ("Magnachip" or "Company") (NYSE: MX) announced a significant expansion of its product lineup with the launch of 25 new 6th-generation (Gen6) SJ MOSFETs (Super ...

Zener diode Db2, probably with a Zener voltage of 5.1 V, in parallel with the bootstrap capacitor Cvcc2 mitigates this risk. The risk of under-charging the bootstrap capacitor due to Db1 forward ...
