Diodes are essential components found in electronic circuits. They allow current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other. With time and usage, diodes can become defective, leading to ...

We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

To measure a zener diode’s breakdown voltage, you need a dc voltage source whose voltage exceeds that of the zener voltage. In Figure 1, resistor R SER provides voltage drop between V IN and V ZEN. In ...

Circuits are the building blocks of modern electronics, and ensuring they function correctly is an essential part of any project involving electricity. One of the challenges faced by engineers and ...

This document details the course project on a Full-wave Rectifier - Step Down Circuit for the course "Introduction to Electronics - CIE212". The project is authored by Omar Elsayed. The circuit design ...

Abstract: Wound-rotor synchronous generators (WRSGs) are the main structures used in aircraft power systems. As a key component of WRSGs for realizing brushless commutation, rotary rectifiers (RRs) ...
