Assertion: diode's voltage | /r/CapableOf | drop across the zener diode
Facets:
value: during this breakdown
type: TEMPORAL
Source sentences:
text: During this breakdown, the voltage drops across the Zener Diode will be constant.
text: Since the voltage dropped across a Zener Diode is a known and fixed value, Zener diodes are typically used to regulate the voltage in electric circuits.
text: The reason the breakdown voltage of a zener diode is so important is because once the voltage that falls across a zener diode exceeds its breakdown voltage, the voltage across the zener remains constant, even if the current going through the zener diode continues to increase.
text: So long as the power supply voltage remains above the Zener voltage (12.6 volts, in this example), the voltage dropped across the Zener diode will remain at approximately 12.6 volts.
