The circuit is simple enough: it uses a capacitor, a resistor, and a pair of diodes (one of them a zener diode). He uses this basic circuit to drive simple regulators with input and output filter ...

These are active elements such as diodes, transistors, transistor arrays, and other charge storage elements. These elements complicate analysis because their voltage-current relationships are not ...

Diodes whose reverse-breakdown characteristics are controlled precisely during manufacture are called as Zener diodes and are intended specifically for operation in the reverse breakdown mode ...
