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 ...

We always enjoy [w2aew’s] videos, and his latest on zener diodes is no exception. In it, he asserts that all Zener diodes are not created equal. Why? You’ll have to watch the video below to find out.

My recent columns discussed the physics and applications of discrete-zener-diode references, and the conclusion they reached is that discrete zener diodes make poor references because of tolerance ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

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 ...

KYOTO, JAPAN and SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - December 15, 2016) - ROHM has announced the development of high voltage Zener diodes optimized for protection and constant current applications in a ...

Central Semiconductor, manufacturer of discrete semiconductors, recently released the CMXSTB Series surface-mount stabistors packaged in the SOT-26 case. This new series consists of the 1.2-V ...

According to Microsemi, its new family of ultra-sharp knee Zener diodes offers four times the voltage regulation and a 40-fold improvement in typical lower leakage current versus comparable devices.
