For the uninitiated, the Zener diode can operate in the reverse bias safely and can do so at a particular voltage. This allows for the voltage across the device to be a fixed value.

Semtech Corp. has received MIL-PRF-19500/406 qualification from Defense Supply Center Columbus, (DSCC) of its brand new 1.5W Zener diode voltage regulator platform.

Perhaps the simplest way to regulate a DC voltage is using a voltage divider and/or an active device like a Zener diode. Besides simplicity, they have the additional advantage of not being ...

The zener diode under test is On Semiconductor ‘s BZX55C15RL, which has a working voltage of 13.8 to 15.6V. The voltage in Figure 4was measured at a zener-diode current of 2.8 mA. Figure 4 Measure the ...

Diodes Incorporated has introduced a low-dropout linear regulator capable of generating the bus termination voltages needed by DDR 2, 3, 3L and 4 SDRAM memory systems.

ROHM has announced the development of high voltage Zener diodes optimized for protection and constant current applications in a variety of electronic circuits. The UDZLV and KDZLV series are ...
