electricpy.zener_diode_required_resistor(Vin, Vo, I)[source]¶

Zener diode required resistance function .

A zener diode is uses to allow current to flow “backwards” when the zener voltage is reached. This function use to calculate the required resistor value following below formula:

$$R=\frac{V_{in(min)}-V_{out}}{I_{load}+0.01}$$

Parameters:¶

Vin : float¶

Minimum input Voltage in Volt

Vo : float¶

Output Voltage in Volt

I : float¶

Load Current in Ampere

Returns:¶

R – Load Resistance in Ohm

Return type:¶

float
