    Okay I'm still convinced zeners are magic. I'm right there with you on trying to do maths and conversions on the spot in my head.

      Thanks for the feedback! We only have two cameras for our non-client work so we struggle when we need three angles. The hope is to improve our equipment and processes for this eventually, if it ever makes us money. We're working on it!

    Which Zener diode tolerance is best suitable for circuits, mostly 5% tolerance of zener more available

    I always put multiple 1/4W resistors when I don't have high power one :D

      Fortunately, they're so cheap, they're basically disposable. "Burned another out!" "Alright, swap it out..." terrible way to design but it's fine when experimenting :-)

    I have 2007 Camry hybrid it has up top 40 cells, how I can use zener diode to regulate all the cells to have same voltage all the time when car is off and when it’s running… can you make video or sent picture of how is done
    The hybrid cell is from 6.3v to 8.3v max
    I would use 5 zener diode and 5 resistors per cell but I have no idea how to setup this

    Good stuff. Trying to decide on Zener or 7805 for a small audio pre-amp. 2s lipo pwr source, LM358 x2 , some resistors and caps for a load. Now the comparative power loss... This is a bench project exploring op-amps. I'm thinking the Zener with a 10ohm 1w resistor. however, the 2s is 8.4v, could the diode handle a 3s?

    I change the voltage of smps by changing the zener diode from 12v to 5v .is proper value wattage of zener diode necessary in smps i used 250 mw value:-)

    • @CircuitBread
      @CircuitBread  3 роки тому

      I think the wattage rating of the zener diode will depend a lot on how much current you're planning on outputting with your SMPS, just as much as the voltage drop. It's been awhile since I'm looked into an SMPS, though, it seems like a good design would actually make it so the zener diode wattage and the power supply wattage *wouldn't* be related.

    • @CircuitBread
      @CircuitBread  3 роки тому +2

      Yeah, it seems like you use the zener diode as the regulator. This does seem like it would be a fun practical project to do a video on. I'll put it in the queue!

    umm i was wondering if i can use one of those zener diodes 3.8v to drop the voltage from a standrad usb power supply (5v) by connecting it to the powerline cable (Red one) without having to use a resistor. My goal is to connect the 3.8v output to an old mobile phone battery pins (the phone has no battery) in order to power it up and use it as a mini monitor next to my desktop pc.

    • @CircuitBread

      If you don't have the resistor, you'll almost certainly burn up the zener diode. If you have a stable load that you know exactly what it will be and you never provide power to the circuit without that load, you can dial it in fairly well with an appropriately sized resistor.

      Ha! Thanks! I actually feel like I'm not nearly as well organized and clean as the other engineers here at CircuitBread. If you look at any of the written tutorials that JB has done, he amazes me with his cleanliness, thoroughness, and attention to detail.

    How do I select a zener diode for Max input voltage of 6.5V, regulated voltage of 3.7V and Load current of 300mA?

    • @CircuitBread
      @CircuitBread  3 роки тому +1

      Susie put together a conceptual tutorial covering this: www.circuitbread.com/tutorials/zener-diode-as-voltage-regulator-conceptual-overview but she doesn't go into the details or have any examples (something I'm realizing we should do). But the key portion of your calculations will be the series resistor. Your zener diode will just need to have a breakdown voltage of 3.7V and be capable of 300mA+ of current. Getting a series resistor in there which will protect the zener diode while not burning too much power is the real challenge.
