The circuit was designed to provide a means for measuring the operating voltage of zener diodes before applying on a circuit. Zener Diode – a special kind of diode that permits the flow of current in ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe is expanding its surge protection Zener diodes line up with the addition of four new products.

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 ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH expands its surge protection Zener diodes lineup with the addition of four new products to its CUZ series. The CUZ56V, CUZ62V, CUZ68V, and CUZ75V, with Zener voltages ...

[Kevin] doesn’t stock zener diodes anymore. Why? Because for everything he used to use zeners, he now uses TL431 bandgap voltage references. These look like zener diodes but have an extra terminal.

Many embedded systems require a stable, low-noise DC reference. This reference can be a stable current or voltage source. These references are used in many ways. Some typical uses are listed as ...
