Figure 3 Two LED drivers operating in series or parallel let you boost zener voltage or current. Figure 4 shows an assembled zener-diode-tester circuit. The zener diode under test is On Semiconductor ...

Diode makes software to design printed circuit boards, which are used in most electronics. The startup raised $11.4 million in Series A funding led by A16z.

This is a simple blinking led circuit powered from 220V that can be used to mark special places or as voltage indicator. The voltage from the mains charges the capacitor through R1 resistor and D1 ...

Using only an ultra-bright white LED, red blinking LED, PNP transistor, and a diode, the circuit gives a strong visual indication of current consumption by blinking brighter and more frequently as ...

In production, this may be replaced with a zero Ohm resistor. The open circuit protection circuit shown utilizes R9, causing it to serve an additional function, in conjunction with Zener diode D2. In ...

The lighting industry has been buzzing with news of solid-state light source advancements for several years. As one light-emitting diode (LED) lighting fixture manufacturer puts it, flat printed ...

All the diode-transitor logic circuits are built from discrete components; nary a chip was used, and to spice things up, [Gislain] used LEDs in place of regular diodes everywhere in the circuit.
