1N4733A. The zener diode is available in the range of 1 to 200 volts. Another advantage for zener diode, it uses as a simple limiters or clippers for ac sources. The symbol for a zener diode is shown in Figure 52. Instead of a straight line representing the cathode, the zener diode has a bent line that reminds you of the letter Z (for zener). 1
The Zener diode has three regions of operations. Each region has it own approximation model. It can be used as a part of protection circuit or as a voltage regulator. The use of the Zener diode as a regulator is so common that three conditions surrounding the analysis of the basic Zener regulator are considered: 1 Fixed load and xed supply voltage.
Whites, EE 320 Lecture 6 Page 2 of 11 Provided that the power dissipated in the diode is less than the maximum rated, the diode is not damaged when operating in the breakdown region. In fact, Zener diodes are designed to operate in this region. The circuit symbol for the Zener diode is (Fig. 3.20)

Introduction A Zener diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow in the reverse direction once it reaches a specific breakdown voltage called the Zener voltage (Vz). It is essentially a heavily doped diode designed to exploit the Zener effect, which occurs when a high electric field is applied across a

Zener Diode: A Zener Diode is also known as break down diode is a heavily doped semiconductor device that is designed to operate in the reverse direction. When the voltage across the terminals of a Zener diode reversed and the potential reaches the Zener voltage or knee voltage the junction break down and the current flows in reverse direction.

Causes of Breakdown The breakdown is caused by two effects, the Avalanche effect and the Zener effect. The Zener effect is dominant in voltages up to 5.6 volts and the avalanche effect takes over above that. They are both similar effects, the difference being that Zener effect is a quantum phenomenon and the avalanche effect is the movement of
The Zener Diode Regulator Zener Diodes can be used to produce a stabilised voltage output with low ripple under varying load current conditions. By passing a small current through the diode from a voltage source, via a suitable current limiting resistor (R S), the Zener diode will conduct sufficient current to maintain a voltage drop of Vout.
Diodes Notes ECE 2210 Diodes are basically electrical check valves. They allow current to flow freely in one direction, but not the other. Check valves require a small forward pressure to open the ... Diodes with significant current ratings are known as "rectifier" or "power" diodes. (Rectification is the process of making AC into DC.) Big ...
A zener diode is a silicon pn junction device that is designed for operation in the reverse-breakdown region. When a diode reaches reverse breakdown, its voltage remains almost constant even though the current changes drastically, and this is key to the zener diode operation.
