A Zener diode can be used as an overvoltage protector that shunts fault current through ground via a current-limiting resistor (Figure 2). Note that the Zener protection is effective only if the Zener ...
TE Circuit Protection introduces its addition to its line of PolyZen device, the ZEN098V130A24LS. It is an overvoltage protection device that has a minimal zener voltage of 9.6 V, typical zener ...
Although microcontrollers generally run at low voltages, such as 3.3 V, they often need to control loads running at higher voltages like 12 V. If switching the low side isn’t an option, the ...
