Figure 1 A series diode protects systems from reverse polarity but wastes power in diode losses. Figure 2 You can use a bridge rectifier so that your system works no matter what the input polarity is.

Figure 3 Two LED drivers operating in series or parallel let you boost zener voltage or current. Figure 4 shows an assembled zener-diode-tester circuit. The zener diode under test is On ...

Series diode In some environments, circuits are exposed to supply disconnection and reconnection—for example, in a battery-operated environment. In such instances, correct polarity isn’t ...

Also note that the freewheeling diode as a snubber has inherent junction capacitance, which adds to the resonant circuit. You may also want to add a series resistor to the diode roughly equal to ...
