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 ...

Zeners are commonly used as low-current sources for bias voltage functions, but the proper voltage reference can give the same result and with much-lower dissipation and no performance tradeoffs.

KYOTO, JAPAN and SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - December 15, 2016) - ROHM has announced the development of high voltage Zener diodes optimized for protection and constant current applications in a ...

The circuit has been constructed to test and measure the voltage rating of zener diodes. To be able to test the voltage rating of a zener diode up to 50 VDC, a small transformer and a single 555 timer ...
