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.

allows current to flow in reverse

reaches the zener voltage. This
voltage remains constant
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.
