The Zener Diode
https://www.electronics-lab.com/article/the-zener-diode/
The Zener Diode A diode is the simplest form of a semiconductor device in which P-type and N-type semiconductors are fused together to form a PN junction. Around this PN junction, a depletion layer is formed having opposite ions. The Zener diode is a type of diode and the basic difference between a simple diode […]
Reboot-o-matic is an Automatic power-cycling microcontroller and a DC power interrupting watchdog

Nick Sayer has posted on Hackaday his recent project, the Reboot-o-matic, which is a Automatic power-cycling microcontroller. The inspiration for the project came when he saw the need to monitor remotely some home automation devices in their vacation home over the internet remotely, but the router was not 100% reliable, so there were occasions where the Internet […]
Transient Voltage Suppressors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/transient-voltage-suppressors/
Voltage suppressors are used to protect circuits from unwanted transients, when other devices like diodes and capacitors fail to do so. Transient effects have various sources and are able to damage the connected parts and ICs if not properly measures taken. In this article we will discuss about the various transient voltage suppressors and their […]
