Reopen zener diode after reverse bias breakdown
I've been learning about using zener diodes to generate a reference voltage for a small comparator circuit, the intention is to detect when a motorcycle battery is charging (i.e more than 13v), and use … However, something occured to me whilst learning about Zener diodes.
Once they are electrically closed, the input voltage has to be removed, before the open again. …

LM311 circuit not working
Further to my two, other questions about Zener diodes to detect when an automotive battery is being charged by the alternator, I've developed the following:
Note: The Fritzing tool I used doesn't have … Past 12v there's a marked increase in the throughput of the zener diode, consistent with what one would expect. …
