True to his handle, [DiodeGoneWild] concentrates on the current-voltage curves of Zener diodes in the video below, mainly as a follow-up to his recent simple linear power supply project ...
Zener diodes are PN junction devices that are designed to operate in the reverse-breakdown region. The breakdown voltage (Vz) of Zener diodes is set by carefully controlling the doping level during ...
Although Zener diodes may sound different then silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), they are both found where voltages must be controlled or regulated. This chapter describes how Zener diodes operate ...
