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 ...

Great Eastern FX has unveiled the latest limited edition stompbox in its Obsolete Devices series, and it is a distortion pedal inspired by the iconic hard-clipping performance of the MXR Distortion+ ...

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 ...

I'm an independent creator passionate about building useful tools, simulations, and theories that make complex ideas more accessible. I explore the intersection of technology, education, and human ...

The Clocked SR flip flop is one of the most fundamental sequential logic circuits in digital electronics. Unlike basic SR latches, a clocked SR flip flop circuit uses a clock signal to control when ...

In this tutorial, we will study the behavior of a diode reverse-biased by a Dirac pulse, subsequently considering the special (and unpublished) case of a Zener diode. In this tutorial, we will study ...

Here, Doug Mercer and Antoniu Miclaus of Analog Devices explore Zener diode regulators. A voltage regulator is a circuit used to maintain a constant output voltage at a load independent of changes in ...

[Kevin] doesn’t stock zener diodes anymore. Why? Because for everything he used to use zeners, he now uses TL431 bandgap voltage references. These look like zener diodes but have an extra terminal.

The 1.8 – 39V, 50µA bias current, 500 mW max power dissipation Zeners are ideal for IoT and IIoT applications. Taiwan Semiconductor has introduced a new line of Zener diodes that offer a range of ...

In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...
