About this document
Understanding Zener Diodes and Their Functions by Rafath Umaimath is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. A zener diode is a type of diode designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region called zener breakdown. 2. In zener breakdown, a small increase in reverse voltage causes a rapid rise in current. The voltage at which this occurs is called the zener voltage. 3. Zener diodes are used in applications like voltage regulation where maintaining a stable voltage is important. They allow current in both forward and reverse bias.
