It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...

Abstract: Near-junction, low-cost, and high accuracy temperature-sensing methods are needed for electronics cooling. Electrical components, either thermal test die or active integrated circuit devices ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study on the PN junction reversed leakage current of zener diode attributed to the surface recombination, and the drift behavior after reliability stress. The leakage ...

With board repairs, one thing that's often very useful to have on hand, aside from the boardview and schematic, is a set of known-good data values for networks, including diode-mode, resistance, or ...

Simulation study comparing standard and Zener diode characteristics under forward/reverse bias conditions. Includes Multisim circuits, measurement data, MATLAB visualizations, and analysis of ...
