  2. Zener diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_diode

    It is also worth noting that the temperature coefficient of a 4.7 V Zener diode is close to that of the emitter-base junction of a silicon transistor at around −2 mV/°C, so in a simple regulating circuit where the 4.7 V diode sets the voltage at the base of an NPN transistor (i.e. their coefficients are acting in parallel), the emitter will ...

  3. Diode logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode_logic

    Diode logic (or diode-resistor logic) constructs AND and OR logic gates with diodes and resistors. An active device ( vacuum tubes with control grids in early electronic computers , then transistors in diode–transistor logic ) is additionally required to provide logical inversion (NOT) for functional completeness and amplification for voltage ...

  4. Clipper (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_(electronics)

    A simple diode clipper can be made with a diode and a resistor. This will remove either the positive, or the negative half of the waveform depending on the direction the diode is connected. The simple circuit clips at zero voltage (or to be more precise, at the small forward voltage of the forward biased diode) but the clipping voltage can be ...

  5. Snubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snubber

    The snubber diode is wired in parallel with an inductive load (such as a relay coil or electric motor). The diode is installed so that it does not conduct under normal conditions. When the external driving current is interrupted, the inductor current flows instead through the diode.

  6. Diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diode

    In the Zener diode, the concept of PIV is not applicable. A Zener diode contains a heavily doped p–n junction allowing electrons to tunnel from the valence band of the p-type material to the conduction band of the n-type material, such that the reverse voltage is "clamped" to a known value (called the Zener voltage), and avalanche does not ...

  7. Current source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_source

    Thus, as long as the Zener current (I Z) is above a certain level (called holding current), the voltage across the Zener diode (V Z) will be constant. Resistor, R1, supplies the Zener current and the base current (I B) of NPN transistor (Q1). The constant Zener voltage is applied across the base of Q1 and emitter resistor, R2.
