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 ...

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 ...

Atomtronics has the goal of developing a one-to-one analogy of electronic systems, components and devices with ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices It is being researched at the University of ...

A diode may look small, but it plays a crucial role in controlling how electricity flows. This video explains how diodes ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

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 ...
