1-07-1993 | It often happens that someone wants to watch television without the sound disturbing other people in the room. To avoid having a long cab...

1-07-1993 | The aim of the design of this 'zener diode' is to obtain a fast voltage regulator that can provide high currents. The circuit is based on...

1-12-1992 | At high currents, many silicon diodes have a forward voltage of 1V or more. There are types whose drop at currents of up to 2-3 A is limi...

1-12-1992 | The stepper presented here makes use of nine positions of a 12-position rotary swtch. It is, of course, possible to add the omitted steps...

1-04-1992 | Diode lasers that operate from the near ultraviolet to well into the infra-red region are common place and used, among others, in optical...

1-01-1992 | Resistance is omnipresent in electronics. A few materials (super conductors) lose their resistance at fairly low temperatures, and all mat...

1-07-1991 | The most popular currcnt indicator in electronics is almost certainly the Iight-emitting diode (LED) which is available in a number of c...

1-10-1990 | A portion of the current-voltage characteristic of certain devices, such as the thyristor, the tunnel diode and the magnetron, has a negati...

1-06-1990 | Power zener diodes are rare, hard-to-obtain and quite expensive electronic devices. The circuit described here is based on a handful of co...

1-07-1989 | 047 HIGH-POWER ZENER DIODE Although its regulation characteristics are not as good as those of an integrated voltage regulator, a high-power...
