Figure 4 shows an assembled zener-diode-tester circuit. The zener diode under test is On Semiconductor‘s BZX55C15RL, which has a working voltage of 13.8 to 15.6V. The voltage in Figure 4was measured ...

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 belo… ...

Diode D1 and capacitor C3 forms the output rectifier and filter circuit. If possible, try to replace D1 with a UF4001 fast diode for better efficiency. Zener diode D2 sets the output voltage to near ...

I certainly agree with you that a Zener diode could be used in the typical Zener regulator circuit, but it would be slightly more helpful to point to his mistake. In his example Vin=5V, Vout=3.3V ...

ROHM has announced the development of high voltage Zener diodes optimized for protection and constant current applications in a variety of electronic circuits. The UDZLV and KDZLV series are ...
