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 ...

The Zener diode is similar to a general-purpose signal diode which consists of a silicon PN junction. It is a special kind of diode in which current is allowed to flow in the forward direction in the ...

[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 ...

It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...

Dublin, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Zener Diode Market Report 2024" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. This Zener Diode market report covers industry characteristics, size ...

These automotive-grade Zener diodes in SOD-523 packaging bring protection to entertainment, ADAS, BMS, and other space-constrained applications. Toshiba Electronics Europe’s XCEZ series of ...

There are times when you need to bias a low-current load and simply didn’t want to add another voltage regulator, or where you need a reasonable level of voltage accuracy, so a simple voltage divider ...

Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX, "Magnachip") today announced the introduction of two new 6th-generation 600V ...

Toshiba has created a range of automotive-grade Zeners for surge protection in the 0.8 x 1.6mm SOD-523 package. Called the XCEZ series, they rated at 150 or 300mW (see below) and come in 20 E24 values ...
