We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

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 ...

[Hales] has been on a mission for a while to make his own diodes and put them to use and now he’s succeeded with diodes made of sodium bicarbonate and water, aluminum tape and soldered copper. By ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

Littelfuse Inc. recently introduced six new series of high reliability TVS diodes that are upscreened for use in aerospace applications. Littelfuse Inc. recently introduced six new series of high ...
