 DIFFERENT USES OF THE ZENER

Beyond that according to stabilizing element of voltage, the diode  zener can be used pure with other tasks. As an example, two diode  zener, connect  in "anti-series", as it happens in the circuit of figure 10, compose "a chopper" device of sinusoidal waves.

 

 

 

Fig. 10 - Two diode  zener, opposite between they, shear the semi waves of the alternated voltage and stabilize the voltage in escape from the circuit.

Two elements DZ1 - DZ2, mounts to you in opposition, shears before the semi wave positive and endured after that negative, stabilizing moreover the alternated voltage applied to entrance VCA.

An other use of the diode  zener is that illustrating in the outline of figure 11, in which DZ polarizes the  electronic V1 through its cathode. We can add that this system comes practiced in the construction of the linear amplifiers of power to radio frequency.

 

 

Fig. 11 - In the linear amplifiers of power and to radio-frequency to , this system of polarization through diode  is used zener.

 

The diode  zener, as it demonstrates the reproduced outline in figure 12, can be connect to you in series between they.

                                                        

                                                     R1

 

Fig. 12 - The diode  zener can be connect  in series between they, but never in parallel. In the connection in series, the stabilized voltage is equal to the sum of the voltages of the single ones zener.

   

In such case the voltage stabilized in escape VU is equal to the sum of the voltages of zener of the diode  that compose the connection in series. As an example, if to the three diode  of the outline of figure 12 they come attributed the values of voltage of 9 V - 3 V - 5 V, voltage VU in escape assumes the largeness of:

   

VU = DZ1+DZ2+DZ3=9V+3V+SV = 17V

 

The power total, instead, is equal to that one of the zener of minor multiplied power, in this case, for three.

It is not absolutely possible to connect in parallel between they the diode  zener, not even when they introduce the same characteristics electrical workers.
