Abstract: The sub-regulators for biasing circuits represent a further development of Zener-diode voltage regulators. The line resistor is substituted by a line transistor which is controlled by the ...

For the longest time, Zener diode regulators have been one of those circuits that have been widely shared and highly misunderstood. First timers have tried to use it to power up their experiments and ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...

Diodes whose reverse-breakdown characteristics are controlled precisely during manufacture are called as Zener diodes and are intended specifically for operation in the reverse breakdown mode ...

Diodes' new series of fixed and adjustable output linear regulators is designed to reduce power consumption and increase regulated voltage output stability. The AP7362 and AP7363 have a dropout ...
