Zener Diode Regulator Calculator

Enter input voltage range, output voltage, and output current to determine required Zener diode and resistor values.

Results:

Zener Diode Voltage (Vz): V

Series Resistor (R): Ω

Resistor Power (Pr): W

Zener Diode Power (Pz): W

function calculateZener() {
const vinMax = parseFloat(document.getElementById(‘vinMax’).value);
const vinMin = parseFloat(document.getElementById(‘vinMin’).value);
const vout = parseFloat(document.getElementById(‘vout’).value);
const iout_mA = parseFloat(document.getElementById(‘iout’).value);

if (isNaN(vinMax) || isNaN(vinMin) || isNaN(vout) || isNaN(iout_mA)) {
alert(“Please fill all fields correctly.”);
return;
}

const iout = iout_mA / 1000; // convert to A
const Vz = vout;
const VrMax = vinMax – Vz;

// Series resistor value
const R = VrMax / iout;

// Resistor power (worst case at max Vin)
const Pr = VrMax * iout;

// Zener power (worst case at min Vin — all current flows into Zener)
const Iz = (vinMin – Vz) / R;
const Pz = Iz * Vz;
