IC references are popular with circuit designers because they are accurate and exhibit low drift. Some of my future columns will cover the three types of IC references: buried zener, bandgap, and XFET ...
Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their reverse breakdown region, but Zener diodes are the exception to this rule. Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their ...
[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 ...
Dublin, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Zener Diode Market Report 2024" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. This Zener Diode market report covers industry characteristics, size ...
It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...
There are times when you need to bias a low-current load and simply didn’t want to add another voltage regulator, or where you need a reasonable level of voltage accuracy, so a simple voltage divider ...
Announced by America Semiconductor, LLC is the availability of a full series of power Zener diodes (part numbers: 1N3305 thru 1N3350) packaged in a DO-5 case. The robust 50 Watt devices are engineered ...
Toshiba has created a range of automotive-grade Zeners for surge protection in the 0.8 x 1.6mm SOD-523 package. Called the XCEZ series, they rated at 150 or 300mW (see below) and come in 20 E24 values ...
Properly selected components make it easier to design modern, energy-efficient power supplies. In this article we present an ...
