text: As you’ll discover in just a few moments, there are limits to how much reverse bias voltage a diode can hold at bay.)
text: The ability of a diode to withstand reverse-bias voltages is limited, as it is for any insulator.
text: If we reversed the polarity of the diode in our single-diode regulator circuit and increased the power supply voltage to the point where the diode “broke down” (that is, it could no longer withstand the reverse-bias voltage impressed across it), the diode would similarly regulate the voltage at that breakdown point, not allowing it to increase further.
