Introduction to Zener Diode

Zener Diode is a type of diode that

operates in the reverse breakdown
region. It is used as a voltage regulator
in electronic circuits. This presentation
will explain the working principle of
zener diode and its symbol.
Working Principle
of Zener
When Diode
a zener diode is connected
in reverse bias, it allows current to
flow in reverse direction when the
voltage reaches the zener voltage.
This voltage remains constant
irrespective of the current flowing
through it. Thus, it acts as a voltage
regulator.
Reverse Breakdown Region

The reverse breakdown region is the

region in which the zener diode
operates. In this region, the diode
allows a large amount of current to
flow in the reverse direction. This
region is achieved when a voltage
greater than the zener voltage is
applied to the diode.
 Symbol of Zener Diode

The symbol of a zener diode is similar to a normal

diode, with the addition of two arrows pointing
towards each other. These arrows indicate that
the diode can operate in both forward and
reverse bias.
Applications of Zener Diode

Zener diodes are used as voltage

regulators in electronic circuits. They
are also used in voltage reference
circuits, overvoltage protection
circuits, and as noise generators in
electronic equipment.
 Conclusion
Zener diodes are an important component in electronic
circuits. They allow for precise voltage regulation and
protection against overvoltage. Understanding the working
principle and symbol of zener diode is essential for any
electronics engineer.
