Zener Diodes

Introduction to Zener Diodes Zener diodes allow conventional current to flow normally from the anode to the cathode, as any other diode.    The Zener diode has a special feature, however.   When we use this in reverse bias mode, the zener will begin to conduct current at a certain voltage.  Read More »

Voltage Regulation

Introduction to Voltage Regulation We need voltage regulation when we need to reduce the voltage for our projects.   If the components for your project require 5v, and you have a 9v battery, we can use a voltage regulator get to the 5v needed.  There are two main ways that we Read More »
