    A Zener diode uses either avalanche or Zener breakdown to allow current to flow in the reverse direction when a certain voltage is reached, enabling its use for voltage regulation. It maintains a constant output voltage even when the input voltage or load current varies by diverting excess current through the Zener junction once the breakdown voltage is reached. The Zener diode's impedance represents how a small change in current produces a small change in voltage, important for keeping output voltage stable under varying conditions.

    Zener Diode:

    A reverse biased pn_ junction diode heavily doped in


    the break down region.

    Types of Breakdown In Zener Diode:


    There are two
    types of reverse break down in Zener diode.
    1. Avalanche Breakdown
    2. Zener Breakdown

    Zener Diode Use As Voltage Regulation:


    A voltage
    regulation is a measure of a circuit’s ability to maintain a constant output
    voltage even when either input voltage or load current varies.
    Regulation Condition :
    Applying Kirchhoff’s Current Law;

    I = Iz + I L
    Under all conditions
    Vout = Vz
    Vin = IR + Vout
    Vin = IR + Vz

    Impedence of Zener Diode :


    A change in zener current (ΔIZ)
    produces a small change in zener voltage (ΔVZ). This is
    represented as zener impedance (ZZ), as

    formula
