TVS diodes protect circuits from voltage spikes. Let's discover what they are and what makes them special!
Building a voltage source for small circuits with a zener diode? Let's explore how this is possible, let's build a shunt regulator.
Today, we are going to build a low voltage alarm using a zener diode and an LM393 comparator.
What can we use zener diodes for? This time, we look at their use as voltage references.
Let's learn more about the second important breakdown effect in zener diodes: the avalanche breakdown.
The zener effect is the dominant breakdown effect in low voltage zener diodes. Let's take some time to learn more about it.
They are a very effective protection against over voltage and reverse polarity. Let's look at how diodes can be used as input protection.
It is a necessary component in many circuits with inductive loads: the flyback diode.
It is used in many products and is de facto the standard rectifier: the full-wave bridge rectifier. Let's discover how it works.
A popular application for diodes are rectifier circuits. Today, we are going to look at a simple half-wave rectifier.
A reverse voltage can easily damage electronic circuits. Let's look at simple reverse polarity protection circuits using diodes.
A diode is like a one-way road for electric current. Let's have a look at this simple semiconductor components.
