This Design Idea describes a versatile test circuit for zener diodes after yet another misread zener diode had infiltrated the ranks of 1N4148 diodes assembled on a pc board. As a bonus, the circuit ...

Diodes whose reverse-breakdown characteristics are controlled precisely during manufacture are called as Zener diodes and are intended specifically for operation in the reverse breakdown mode ...

Abstract: This paper presents an assessment of electrical device measurements using functional data analysis (FDA) on a test case of Zener diode devices. We employ three techniques from FDA to ...
