Zeners are commonly used as low-current sources for bias voltage functions, but the proper voltage reference can give the same result and with much-lower dissipation and no performance tradeoffs.

If you’ve played around with laser diodes that you’ve scavenged from old equipment, you know that it can be a hit-or-miss proposition. (And if you haven’t, what are you waiting fo… ...

These old 1N5305 current limiting diode regulators are simply constructed from a JFET with an internal feedback resistor to its gate which maintains a fixed current output.

You can build a simple low-current voltage regulator from a resistor and a Zener diode. This type of regulator is often adequate for noncritical applications such as internal bias voltages. The ...

The LM334 datasheet also shows a way to add a diode and resistor to the chip circuitry to null out any temperature change when using discrete resistors instead of a copper trace (Fig 4). 4.

Flexible organic memory devices are promising candidates for data storage applications. Here, Ji et al.develop a flexible all-organic 64-bit memory cell array possessing one diode–one resistor ...

Molecular circuitry: International team breaks one-diode-one resistor electronics Date: June 2, 2020 Source: University of Central Florida Summary: An international team has cracked a challenge ...

In theory, the design of current sensing circuitry, typically based on simple measurement of the IR voltage developed across a resistor placed in series with the current to be sensed, looks like an ...
