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 find out.

With a regular diode, current can only flow in one direction. But for the Zener diode, current can flow in both the directions. The zener diode works as if there are two regular diodes in parallel, ...

In this video, the presenter is going to give you a basic tutorial on schottky and zener diodes and what makes them special.

[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 ...

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we will study the behavior of a diode reverse-biased by a Dirac pulse, subsequently considering the special (and unpublished) case of a Zener diode.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

047 HIGH-POWER ZENER DIODE Although its regulation characteristics are not as good as those of an integrated voltage regulator, a high-power zener diode has, nevertheless, useful applications, for ...

Abstract: Application of Zener diode for light current-voltage (LIV) characterization of a solar panel is reported. A typical solar panel is simply a configuration of large number of solar cells ...

Abstract: The class E amplifier with a clamped switch peak voltage using a Zener diode is proposed and analyzed A higher output power is obtained when the maximum switch voltage is clamped. Design ...
