Application of Zener Diode
Zener diode (also called Zener diode) its circuit symbol is: This diode is a semiconductor device with high resistance until the critical reverse breakdown voltage. At this critical breakdown point, the reverse resistance decreases To a very small value, the current increases while the voltage remains constant in this low resistance region. Zener diodes are divided according to the breakdown voltage. Because of this characteristic, the Zener tube is mainly used as a regulator or voltage The reference component is used. Its volt-ampere characteristics are shown in Figure 1. Zener diodes can be connected in series for use at higher voltages, and more stable voltages can be obtained by connecting them in series. Zener tube application: 1. Surge protection circuit: Zener tube breakdowns under accurate voltage, which makes it can be used as a limiting or protective element. Because Zener diodes of various voltages are available, it is especially suitable for this app...
