text: A Zener diode is a special type of diode designed to reliably allow current to flow "backwards" when a certain set reverse voltage, known as the Zener voltage, is reached.
text: A Zener Diode is a special kind of diode which permits current to flow in the forward direction as normal, but will also allow it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value – the breakdown voltage known as the Zener voltage.
text: A Zener Diode is a special type of diode that is used most extensively as a voltage regulator; this is because, in reverse bias, once the reverse voltage supplied to a zener diode reaches its breakdown voltage, referred to as VZ, the voltage across the diode remains constant at this voltage even if the current through the diode continues to increase or vary.
text: A Zener Diode is a special type of diode that is used most extensively as a voltage regulator; this is because once the reverse voltage supplied to a zener diode reaches its breakdown voltage, referred to as V Z , the voltage across the diode remains very constant at this voltage even if the current through the diode continues to increase or vary.
text: The Zener diode can be defined as; it is a special kind of diode when we compare with other diodes.
