This is another article of series about the design of power supply. We will analyze several hardware and simulation aspects ... simplest example of a series regulator with a Zener diode. The ...

Some of my future columns will cover the three types of IC references: buried zener, bandgap, and XFET. You develop the reference-design procedure with a zener diode; the zener's ... and the ...

The simulation of the DC type between 0 V and 20 V shows the output voltage on the resistance R1 dependent on the battery voltage. In this mode, of course, a normal diode does not conduct current. But ...

Zener diodes are one of those strange items that have several uses but are not as popular as they once were. There was a time when the Zener was a reasonable way to regulate a voltage ...

For the longest time, Zener diode regulators have been one of those ... To make a Zener into a “proper” voltage regulator, you just need to buffer the output with an amplifier of some kind.

Abstract: The sub-regulators for biasing circuits represent a further development of Zener-diode voltage regulators ... The example of sub-regulator design is given, and the simulations confirm the ...

It is a high-performance SPICE simulation ... when the battery voltage exceeds 12 V. For lower battery values, there is always the junction difference of the diode of 0.8 V. Figure 3: A general ...

Suppose the zener diode on the circuit has a ... The maximum current occurs when the source voltage is 40 V. In this case, the voltage across the resistor is 30 V, which gives a current of In a ...
