A Zener diode is a type of diode designed to exploit the Zener effect to affect electric current to flow against the normal direction from anode to cathode, when the voltage across its terminals exceeds a certain characteristic threshold, the Zener voltage.

Dioda Zenera (inaczej: stabilistor) – odmiana diody półprzewodnikowej, której głównym parametrem jest napięcie przebicia złącza p - n. Po przekroczeniu napięcia przebicia ma miejsce nagły, gwałtowny wzrost prądu.

Dioda Zenera zawsze jest używana jako stabilizator w warunkach polaryzacji zaporowej. Można zaprojektować układ regulatora napięcia stałego z diodą Zenera, aby zapewnić stałą wartość napięcia na obciążeniu, niezależnie od zmian napięcia wejściowego lub prądu obciążenia.

2024年8月16日 · What is Zener Diode? A Zener diode can be considered as a highly doped p-n junction diode which is made such that it works in reverse bias condition. A Zener diode which is also called a Breakdown diode works in reverse bias conditions.

2015年12月16日 · A Zener diode is a silicon semiconductor device that permits current to flow in either a forward or reverse direction. The diode consists of a special, heavily doped p-n junction, designed to conduct in the reverse direction when a certain specified voltage is reached.

2019年12月11日 · A Zener diode is a silicon pn junction device that allows current to flow not only in the forward direction like a typical silicon or germanium diode, but also in the reverse direction if the voltage is greater than the breakdown voltage known as Zener knee voltage or simply Zener voltage, named after Clarence Melvin Zener, the discoverer of ...

A Zener Diode is a type of semiconductor device, also called a breakdown diode, designed to work in the reverse direction. Special doping allows it to conduct electricity in the opposite direction when the voltage across its terminals is reversed and reaches a certain level, known as the Zener Voltage or knee voltage.

A Zener diode is a highly doped semiconductor device specifically designed to function in the reverse direction. It is engineered with a wide range of Zener voltages (Vz), and certain types are even adjustable to achieve variable voltage regulation.

2024年1月25日 · A guide designed to help you understand what Zener diodes are, their characteristics, applications, how they work, the Zener diode symbol, and common FAQs.

2024年1月10日 · A Zener diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow forward like a regular diode but also in the reverse direction if the voltage is larger than the breakdown voltage, known as "Zener knee voltage" or "Zener voltage".
