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 ...

The polarity markings on LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) seem to be a common cause of confusion. The polarity may be indicated by a flat section on one side of the body or by one lead being shorter than ...

Mentor Graphics Corp. announced the MicReD® Industrial Power Tester 1500A for power cycling and thermal testing of electronics components to simulate and measure lifetime performance. Mentor Graphics ...

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 ...
