2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is a Zener diode?
Think about its operation in reverse bias.
What is the function of a voltage regulator in a circuit?
Consider changes in voltage supply.
What region does a Zener diode primarily operate in?
Recall how Zener diodes function in different bias regions.
True or False: Zener diodes can be used to regulate high power outputs.
Consider the typical applications of Zener diodes.
You have a Zener diode rated at 12V. Design a circuit that allows it to effectively stabilize the voltage in a power supply that fluctuates between 10V and 15V.
Focus on safe current levels and the diode's operational limits.
Discuss how a Zener diode could protect a microcontroller from over-voltage conditions. Outline the considerations necessary for the design.
Consider what happens when the voltage exceeds safe levels for your device.
