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 ...

Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful ...

[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 ...

These automotive-grade Zener diodes in SOD-523 packaging bring protection to entertainment, ADAS, BMS, and other ...

Although 5V-powered logic isstill common in many applications,most FPGAs support interfacelevels of 3.3V and lower. When youconnect an FPGA to higher voltagelevels, the FPGA’s application ...

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 ...

Toshiba Electronics has expanded its range of Zener diodes with a further 15 products to protect the power lines of semiconductor devices.
