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 ...

When checking and verifying capacitors, inductors, diodes, bipolar transistors, and cables, the gamut of test methods can range from those used to confirm a defective component to identifying the ...

Some diode manufacturers caution against using the diode tester function in ohmmeters because it could exceed the reverse-voltage and forward-current ratings of sensitive diodes. This is especially ...

CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Fundamental concepts in electronics. Diode, BJT and FET Circuits; design using ideal operational amplifiers; feedback; frequency response; biasing; current sources and mirrors; ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for tasks like rectification, ...
