Definition of "Zener Diode" |
A junction diode designed to operate in the reverse bias region. / A PN-junction diode designed to operate in the reverse-bias breakdown region. More Zener Diode terms. Also see Zener Diode Manufacturers. / Zener diode is a diode which allows current to flow in the forward direction in the same manner as an ideal diode, but also permits it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value known as the breakdown voltage, Zener knee voltage,Zener voltage, avalanche point, or peak inverse voltage. / Shielded twisted pair is a special kind of copper telephone wiring used in some business installations. An outer covering or shield is added to the ordinary twisted pair telephone wires; the shield functions as a ground. / (1) a pn-junction diode that has an abrupt rise in current at a reverse-bias voltage Vz, which is usually between 3 to 6 volts.Zener diodes are deliberately fabricated to operate in the reverse breakdown region at a specified voltage and are often used in voltage reference or voltage regulator circuits. |
