text: Looking at the curves for a Zener diode, it can be seen that the voltage is almost constant regardless of the current carried.
text: And, the voltage across the Zener diode is constant.
text: Some diodes, such as zener diodes, function as voltage regulators because when reverse bias is fed it above a certain point, the diode maintains a constant voltage across its terminals.
text: The fact that the voltage across the diode in the breakdown region is almost constant turns out to be an important characteristic of the zener diode as it can be used in the simplest types of voltage regulator applications.
text: A good zener diode can also maintain a fairly constant voltage over a large range of currents.
text: From the graph, it can be deduced that the zener diode operated in the reverse bias mode will have a fairly constant voltage irrespective of the amount of current supplied.
text: The Zener diode will provide constant voltage provided current stays within the range of the maximum and minimum reverse current.
text: It provides the constant voltage from the fluctuating voltage source to the load.
text: The Zener diode is connected in parallel across the load and maintain the constant voltage V Z and hence stabilises the voltage.
text: Generates a constant voltage when voltage is supplied in the reverse direction Zener diodes are typically used in constant voltage circuits to ensure constant voltage even if the current fluctuates or as protection elements against surge currents and ESD.
