True to his handle, [DiodeGoneWild] concentrates on the current-voltage curves of Zener diodes in the video ... and the secondary winding of a 12-volt transformer. The probes of his oscilloscope ...

The ‘GND (12V rail)’ connects to the low side of the LEDs but that is separated from the microcontroller ground path. Obviously the Zener diode is clamping power input for the microcontroller ...

Zener diodes are PN junction devices that are designed to operate in the reverse-breakdown region. The breakdown voltage (Vz) of Zener diodes is set by carefully controlling the doping level during ...

However, even though you’re literally sitting on a huge battery in your EV, it still requires a small 12-volt battery of the kind you find in your conventional combustion car. To understand why ...

The Interstate Batteries 12V 35AH Sealed Lead Acid AGM Deep Cycle Battery is our choice for the best deep cycle battery under $150 as a result of its easy installation, high cycle rating, and compact ...

Although Zener diodes may sound different then silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), they are both found where voltages must be controlled or regulated. This chapter describes how Zener diodes operate ...

Most modern cars offer at least two ways to charge up a smartphone, in the form of a 12V lighter socket and a USB port. The latter could be more convenient for many, as it uses the same cable you ...

This test looks at inflators powered by a 12V socket. They may be a touch bulkier and more fiddly to use (with the cable dragging around the car) than cordless versions, but they’re generally ...
