About this document

Zener and PN Junction Diode MCQs by Uma is a document available to read on EtoBox.

A zener diode has one pn junction and is used as a voltage regulator. It has a higher doping level than a standard diode and is always connected in reverse bias. It utilizes its reverse bias characteristics and behaves like a constant voltage source in its breakdown region. A series resistance is connected to protect the zener diode from excessive current. It has a sharp breakdown voltage and is a non-linear device.
