When you apply forward voltage, Schottky and small-signal germanium diodes exhibit 0.2 to 0.25V and 0.35 to 0.45V drops, respectively. Figure 3 Two LED drivers operating in series or parallel let you ...

Zener diodes can be tested for forward drop ... the diode being tested instead of through the bypassed LED on the unit. The series diodes (D3 and D4) ensure that the voltage drop of D1 and D2 ...

Figure 1 shows the addition of a diode in series with the Zener diode. The curve in Figure 1 plots the temperature coefficient for various Zener voltages. Above values of 4.7V, the temperature ...

We always enjoy [w2aew’s] videos, and his latest on zener diodes is no exception ... With the advent of chips like the 7800-series regulators, you can have a high-quality regulator with one ...

This new series consists of the 1.2-V CMXSTB200, the 1.8-V CMXSTB300 and the 2.5-V CMXSTB400. These devices function as very low-voltage Zener diodes and are ideal for voltage regulating and meter ...

In fact, one of the best things about the video is it serves as an index into the many other detailed videos he’s done on different types of diodes. Zener diodes are in video 289. Tunnel diodes ...
