Description: In this episode, we explore the Zener diode and the differences between Zener and avalanche action. Both types of Zener diodes are analyzed on a makeshift curve tracer, while we discuss briefly the differences between quantum tunneling and the avalanche effect. Then we go through a basic example of using the Zener as a voltage reference. bit.ly/3GjRepA PDF Ebook - bit.ly/3zT8zTP Engage with the element14 presents team on the element14 Community - suggest builds, find project files and behind the scenes video: bit.ly/2MFMG0v Visit the element14 Community for more great activities and free hardware: Tech spotlights: bit.ly/3qPrDhM RoadTest and Reviews: bit.ly/3pV5Bux Project14: bit.ly/31wbnJY #0:00 Welcome to DC to Daylight #0:35 Zener Diodes #2:26 Curve Tracer #4:35 Avalanche Diode #5:13 Demonstration #10:25 Give Your Feedback keywords #ZenerDiode #Diodes #QuantumTunneling
