Zener Diode Schaltung. Zener diodes are manufactured with a great variety of zener voltages and some are even variable. The zener diode generates a well balanced reference voltage throughout the load that fulfils the requirements of the regulator.
Zener diode is a type of diode that flows of current also in reverse bias and in applications it always connected in reverse bias and zener diode limit the voltage this diode is used for regulating the voltage in any circuit. Zener diode as voltage regulator. Resistors are current limiting devices whereas zener diodes are voltage regulating devices.
The zener diode generates a well balanced reference voltage throughout the load that fulfils the requirements of the regulator.
The zener diode generates a well balanced reference voltage throughout the load that fulfils the requirements of the regulator. The breakdown voltage of zener diodes will be constant for a wide range of current. Above the zener voltage the zener diode will conduct and the led will illuminate for a brief moment as there is nothing limiting current flow so either the zener or led whichever is first will be damaged due to overcurrent. Zener diodes are designed in many wattage ratings and with voltage ratings which range from 2 7 volts to 200 volts.
