Zener diodes keep voltage stable by allowing current to flow in reverse at a specific level. This video explains how they work and how Zener and avalanche breakdown help regulate voltage in circuits.

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 ...

Central Semiconductor, manufacturer of discrete semiconductors, recently released the CMXSTB Series surface-mount stabistors packaged in the SOT-26 case. This new series consists of the 1.2-V ...
