Here we talk about the cheapest and simplest solar battery charger circuit. It has only two parts – a solar panel and a diode. That is it! But still, it works. No let us understand how. Understanding the Circuit Working So we take a 16V 1A solar panel which gives free power from the sun. … Read more
Diodes are divided into two categories: germanium diodes and silicon diodes, with the silicon diode being the most popular. In germanium diodes, forward conduction starts at around 0.2 V. This starts at around 0.6 V in silicon diodes. In comparison to silicon diodes, germanium diodes have a higher reverse leakage current. When germanium diodes are … Read more
In the field of power electronics, we sometimes confront an uncomfortable and humiliating fact about ourselves. For a while, I’d like you to attempt to be absolutely open and honest. Is it possible that you’re misinformed regarding the MOSFET body diode? There are a lot of us. We all have similar genesis tales on how this misunderstanding … Read more
In one of our projects we required several matched silicon diodes for accomplishing a perfectly balanced modulation design. We could easily construct it through a 9 V battery for the supply, two precision resistors, a digital voltmeter, as depicted in the following diagram. The two 2.2 k resistors, namely R1 and R2, must be a … Read more
Zener tester is a device used for measuring zener voltages and also for plotting variation of zener voltage with zener current. Zener testers find its use in the lab equipment very often. The breakdown voltage is the voltage below which zener diodes stop working. Why Zener Tester Equipment is so Crucial Most of the time … Read more
The article states how to make a variable stabilized zener diode circuit using transistors, whose voltage is variable, and the zener voltage can be adjusted as per preference. As anyone would understand the voltage drop across a zener diode is reliant on the current getting through the diode. Consequently, based on the sort and power … Read more
