The circuit was designed to provide a means for measuring the operating voltage of zener diodes before applying on a circuit. Zener Diode – a special kind of diode that permits the flow of current in ...

Mentor Graphics Corp. announced the MicReD® Industrial Power Tester 1500A for power cycling and thermal testing of electronics components to simulate and measure lifetime performance. Mentor Graphics ...

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 ...

High-voltage silicon-carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and diodes combine the advantages of fast switching speeds and very low switching losses. This allows power converters designed with them to operate at ...
