How do Zener diodes control voltage?

Zener diodes keep voltage stable by allowing current to flow in reverse at a specific level. This video explains how they ...
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 ...
[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 ...
Although 5V-powered logic isstill common in many applications,most FPGAs support interfacelevels of 3.3V and lower. When youconnect an FPGA to higher voltagelevels, the FPGA’s application ...
For beginners, diode types can sometimes be a bit of mental gymnastics. If all it does is act like a magic pixie check valve, why are there so many kinds? Schottky diodes are typically hard to ...
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 ...
