Determine the range of values of Vi that will maintain the Zener diode of the figure above in the “on” state. To solve for Vi(max), we use the formula But, since IR(max) is not yet known, we have to ...

We always enjoy [w2aew’s] videos, and his latest on zener diodes is no exception. In it, he asserts that all Zener diodes are not created equal. Why? You’ll have to watch the video below to find out.

In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...
