Okay, I'm building a serial link cable for my TI calculator and the plans call for two zener diodes. What exactly is a zener diode? Is that just a regular diode, because I have some diodes ...

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 ...

Two Zener diodes in series, anode to anode ... Static measurements are in Table 2 and Figure 5 is the corresponding graph. Figure 5 shows symmetrical voltage limiting. Table 2 Measurements taken for ...

Diodes are essential semiconductor devices used to control the direction of electrical current in circuits. This tutorial explains how diodes work, their different types, and why they are critical ...

The circuit is simple enough: it uses a capacitor, a resistor, and a pair of diodes (one of them a zener diode). He uses this basic circuit to drive simple regulators with input and output filter ...
