We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

The new DMM is a direct replacement for the Agilent 34401A DMM, and was designed to make migration easy for current users of the 34401A. The Agilent 34460A offers engineers a basic entry point to the ...

Abstract: In general, measuring electronic circuits can only use ordinary measuring tools or manually. But as technology develops, measuring electrical circuits does not only use manual tools but can ...

In our January issue, Motor Age contributor Bernie Thompson presented very detailed information on the theory of and proper testing of voltage drops. Electrical problems such as voltage drops continue ...

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 ...
