About this document
Zener Diode Characteristics and Applications by Ade Murtala is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Zener diodes allow current to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, known as the zener or avalanche voltage, and are used to generate a stable reference voltage for applications like voltage regulation. They operate by tunneling electrons through the heavily doped p-n junction when reverse biased above the breakdown voltage, and their breakdown voltage can be controlled through the doping process to produce diodes that regulate voltages ranging from 1.2V to 200V.
