Source sentences:
text: When the Zener diode stops conducting current, it can no longer regulate voltage, and the load voltage will fall below the regulation point.
text: Zener diodes are widely used as voltage references and as shunt regulators to regulate the voltage across small circuits.
text: Zener diodes regulate voltage by acting as complementary loads, drawing more or less current as necessary to ensure a constant voltage drop across the load.
