To measure a zener diode’s breakdown voltage, you need a dc voltage source whose voltage exceeds that of the zener voltage. In Figure 1, resistor R SER provides voltage drop between V IN and V ZEN. In ...
This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...
Diodes whose reverse-breakdown characteristics are controlled precisely during manufacture are called as Zener diodes and are intended specifically for operation in the reverse breakdown mode ...
ProTek Devices introduced a new ultra-low capacitance steering diode / transient voltage suppressor array (TVS array) designed to deliver circuit protection in Gigabit Ethernet applications, ...
Normally, when you want a low DC voltage from the AC line, you think about using a transformer of some kind. [RCD66] noticed that an AC monitor meter must have some sort of power supply but had no ...
February 12, 2013. Littelfuse Inc. has introduced the 450-W SD05 (unidirectional) and SD05C (bidirectional) Series general-purpose TVS (transient-voltage-suppression) diode arrays, which are designed ...
