Diode Test Circuit
This test circuit is used for testing both the forward and reverse
characteristics of diodes. Reverse characteristics are particularly
useful for the testing of Zener diodes.
For the standalone mode, the voltage is automatically adjusted to
obtain a “target” current of 5mA. For Zener diodes that have a
breakdown voltage of more than about 9V, the target current of 5mA
cannot be obtained.
