When designing a Zener diode circuit for voltage regulation in a power supply, it's crucial to consider various factors like input voltage, desired output voltage, and Zener diode characteristics.

Integrated Driver Circuit Figure 2 shows a solution with a dedicated APC laser driver IC 4 for CW operation up to 300 mA from a 2.4 to 15-V supply voltage. It requires only four additional passive ...

This Design Idea illustrates a way to make use of MOSFETs’ parasitic body diodes in a power circuit that can be used in UPS and energy-recovery (e.g., regenerative braking) designs. The circuit can ...
