2. Blocking oscillator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_oscillator

   When the absorber is in the primary circuit, e.g. a Zener diode (or LED) with voltage V z connected "backwards" across the primary windings, the current waveshape is a triangle with the time t open determined by the formula I p = I peak,m - V z ×T open /L p, here I peak,m being the primary current at the time the switch opens. When the ...

3. Joule thief - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_thief

   A simple modification of the previous schematic replaces the LED with three components to create a simple zener diode based voltage regulator. Diode D1 acts as a half-wave rectifier to allow capacitor C to charge up only when a higher voltage is available from the joule thief on the left side of diode D1. The Zener diode D2 limits the output ...

4. Zener diode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_diode

   For example, a diode with a Zener breakdown voltage of 3.2 V exhibits a voltage drop of very nearly 3.2 V across a wide range of reverse currents. The Zener diode is therefore well suited for applications such as the generation of a reference voltage (e.g. for an amplifier stage), or as a voltage stabilizer for low-current applications. [2]

5. Single-ended primary-inductor converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-ended_primary...

   Fast conventional diodes or Schottky diodes may be used. The resistances in the inductors and the capacitors can also have large effects on the converter efficiency and output ripple. Inductors with lower series resistance allow less energy to be dissipated as heat, resulting in greater efficiency (a larger portion of the input power being ...

6. LED circuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_circuit

   Simple LED (Light Emitting Diode) circuit diagram. In electronics, an LED circuit or LED driver is an electrical circuit used to power a light-emitting diode (LED). The circuit must provide sufficient current to light the LED at the required brightness, but must limit the current to prevent damaging the LED.

7. Capacitive power supply - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_power_supply

   In addition, failure of a single component can result in unacceptably high voltages at the output. For instance, if the Zener diode in the circuit shown should fail open, there will result a gradually-rising voltage at the output, eventually reaching the input (AC) voltage. [4] Capacitive power supplies typically have a low power factor.
