Although 5V-powered logic isstill common in many applications,most FPGAs support interfacelevels of 3.3V and lower. When youconnect an FPGA to higher voltagelevels, the FPGA’s application ...
Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their reverse breakdown region, but Zener diodes are the exception to this rule. Generally speaking, we try to avoid operating diodes in their ...
[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 ...
It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...
Zener diodes are designed to keep voltage levels stable in electronic circuits. This video explains how they allow reverse ...
These automotive-grade Zener diodes in SOD-523 packaging bring protection to entertainment, ADAS, BMS, and other space-constrained applications. Toshiba Electronics Europe’s XCEZ series of ...
According to Microsemi, its new family of ultra-sharp knee Zener diodes offers four times the voltage regulation and a 40-fold improvement in typical lower leakage current versus comparable devices.
