Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero at ...

The red LED provides visual indication of the current flowing through the resistor-zener-diode circuit. The higher the current, the brighter the LED will light. You can omit this LED if you don’t need ...

The diode bridge mixer or ring modulator is a circuit using four diodes in a superficially similar configuration to that you’d find in a bridge rectifier, and it functions as a frequency mixer ...

An uncomplicated circuit application of a ZD is the common shunt voltage regulator. If you have a Zener diode (ZD) of unknown characteristics or if you want to use reverse-biased transistor junctions ...

Silicon diodes and metal-oxide Varistors are used to protect delicate circuit components from electrostatic discharge (ESD) or other transient events. These guidelines can be used when comparing ...
