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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: A high-performance IMPATT diode test circuit has been developed which is very effective in reducing spurious oscillations. In this circuit, a 6-GHz germanium diode has been tested at ...

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 ...

Abstract: A high-pass filter is a circuit that uses the properties of a resistor and capacitor to filter specified high frequencies from the input side to the output side. In the event of a capacitor ...

This project focuses on analyzing the current-voltage behavior of a diode circuit using iterative solvers, extracting diode parameters to fit given data, and applying advanced numerical optimization ...
