To measure a zener diode’s breakdown voltage, you need a dc voltage source whose voltage exceeds that of the zener voltage. In Figure 1, resistor R SER provides voltage drop between V IN and V ZEN. In ...
For the given circuit graph the transfer function Vo(Vs). Assume forward biased voltage drop for the diode is 0.7V. The voltage will not allow the diode to conduct until the source voltage is at least ...
Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...
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 ...
(Nanowerk News) An international team with ties to UCF has cracked a challenge that could herald a new era of ultra-high-density computing. For years engineers and scientists around the world have ...
This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Measuring the signals from extremely high-impedance sensors is a difficult task. Such sensors can have output ...
Unlike filament lamps, where electrical energy must be converted into heat before light can be produced, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are able to transform electrical energy directly into light energy ...
