EDN

Zener Diode with Variable Resistance

For the network shown in the figure above, determine: (a) the range of and that will result in being maintained at 10 V and (b) the maximum wattage rating of the diode. b) We solve for the maximum ...

Zener Diode Voltage Regulation

Determine the range of values of Vi that will maintain the Zener diode of the figure above in the “on” state. To solve for Vi(max), we use the formula But, since IR(max) is not yet known, we have to ...
