    1. The document describes the operation of a zener diode in reverse bias mode. 2. Initially, a small reverse current flows as the reverse voltage increases slowly. Once the reverse voltage reaches the zener breakdown voltage Vz, the reverse current increases suddenly. 3. After breakdown, the voltage remains constant at Vz while the reverse current continues increasing from Iz(min) to Iz(max). This operating region is called the zener region where the voltage is constant and the current increases.
