Zener Diode Schaltbild. It has a primary winding of 200 turns and a feedback winding of 40 turns. Allows current flow in one direction but also can flow in the reverse direction when above breakdown voltage.
Zener diode is connected parallel to the load to make it reverse bias and once the zener diode exceeds knee voltage the voltage across the load will become constant. Let us learn about this exciting and unique kind of diode. Zener diode is used as a shunt voltage regulator for regulating voltage across small loads.
We operate a zener diode in reverse biased conditions and this diode does not get damaged even when the voltage across this exceeds the reverse breakdown voltage.
We operate a zener diode in reverse biased conditions and this diode does not get damaged even when the voltage across this exceeds the reverse breakdown voltage. The zener diode maintains a stable output voltage irrespective of the input voltage provided the maximum zener current is not exceeded.
