text: Even further application of voltage values can see that current values increase in the circuit but the voltage remains constant across the diode.
text: You can see there a graphical representation of another version of this clever trick where the overall voltage stays constant... the limiting resistor decreases its resistance RL... but the "diode" decreases its static resistance RST as well.
text: Even if the current through the diode fluctuates, the voltage remains fairly stable.
text: The main use of Zener diode lies in the fact that the voltage across a Zener diode remains constant for a larger change in current.
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: Therefore, the 12-volt power supply drops 5.1V and the voltage across the zener remains constant at this voltage.
text: After the breakdown of the Zener is voltage remains constant whereas the avalanche is voltage vary.
text: At this point, the reverse current through the zener increases sharply but the zener voltage, V Z across the device remains constant even if the zener current, I Z varies.
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: Therefore, the 12-volt power supply drops 5.1V and the voltage across the zener remains constant at this voltage.
text: This voltage remains almost constant even with large changes in current providing the zener diodes current remains between the breakdown current I Z(min) and its maximum current rating
text: It is a vertical line in this region; so the voltage drop across the "diode" stays constant.
