Usage and precautions of voltage regulator diodes
2023-07-24

Zener diodes can be used to stabilize power supplies and protect other electronic components from excessive voltage damage. It can also be used in various circuits such as oscillation circuits, modulation circuits, switching circuits, etc. to achieve different functions. When using a voltage regulator diode, it is necessary to pay attention to some usage methods and precautions.

未标题-1


Choose the appropriate voltage regulator diode


When selecting a voltage regulator diode, it is necessary to choose the appropriate model based on specific circuit requirements. Different types of voltage regulator diodes have different rated voltages and currents, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate voltage regulator diode based on the voltage and current requirements in the circuit.


Correctly connect the voltage regulator diode


When connecting the voltage regulator diode, it is necessary to pay attention to the connection method of the positive and negative poles. Generally speaking, the positive pole of a voltage regulator diode is the marked end, while the negative pole is the unmarked end. When connecting, it is necessary to connect the positive pole to the positive power source in the circuit and the negative pole to the negative power source or load resistor.


Control the current of the voltage regulator diode


The rated current of the voltage regulator diode is limited, so it is necessary to control the current of the voltage regulator diode to avoid exceeding its rated current and causing damage. The current of the voltage regulator diode can be controlled through a series resistor or a current limiting circuit.


Pay attention to heat dissipation


The zener diode generates a certain amount of heat during operation, so it is necessary to pay attention to heat dissipation. You can increase the heat dissipation area by installing a heat sink or installing a zener diode on the heat sink, thereby reducing the working temperature of the zener diode and extending its service life.


Prevent overload


The voltage regulator diode has the function of overload protection, but when overloaded, the temperature of the voltage regulator diode will rise, which affects its service life. Therefore, when using a voltage regulator diode, attention should be paid to avoiding overload, which can be achieved through current limiting circuits or adding fuses.


Alright, that's all for the introduction of zener diodes. If you want to learn more about electronic components and information, please follow us and hope to provide you with reference and assistance. When using a voltage regulator diode, it is necessary to choose a suitable model to ensure its normal operation and extend its service life.

AI high-performance computing - integrated storage and computing
Integrated storage and computing or in memory computing is the complete integration of storage and computing, directly utilizing memory for data processing or computation. Under the traditional von Neumann architecture, data storage and computation are separated. Due to the increasing performance gap between storage and computation, the speed at which the processor accesses stored data is much lower than the processor's computation speed. The energy consumption of data transportation between memory and main memory is also much higher than the energy consumed by the processor's computation.

Since Google launched the first generation self-developed artificial intelligence chip Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) in 2016, it has been upgraded to the fourth generation TPU v4 after several years of development (as of the end of 2022). The TPU architecture design also achieves efficient computation of network layers such as deep learning convolutional layer and fully connected layer by efficiently parallelizing a large number of multiplication and accumulation operations.

AI High Performance Computing - AI Chip Design
The simplest and most direct design approach for AI chips is to directly map neurons to hardware chips, as shown in the figure. The Full Hardware Implementation scheme maps each neuron to a logical computing unit and each synapse to a data storage unit. This architecture design can achieve a high-performance and low-power AI chip, such as an Intel ETANN chip. In the full hardware implementation scheme, the output data of the previous layer is multiplied by the weight, and the results of the multiplication are then added up, and then output to the next layer for calculation through an activation function. This architecture design tightly couples computing and storage, allowing the chip to avoid large-scale data access while performing high-speed computing, improving overall computing performance while also reducing power consumption.
