Definition of "Zener Effect" |
A reverse breakdown effect in diodes in which breakdown occurs at reverse voltages below 5 volts. The presence of a high energy field at the junction of a semiconductor produces the breakdown. / Zener effect is a type of electrical breakdown in a reverse biased p-n diode in which the electric field enables tunneling of electrons from the valence to the conduction band of a semiconductor, leading to a large number of free minority carriers, which suddenly increase the reverse current. Zener breakdown is employed in a Zener diode. / Synchronous Transport Signal level 1 is based on using optical media, and as such has numerous advantages in comparison to copper conduits. SONET uses STS Level 1 as a basic building block and, like any standard STS-1, assures interoperability of equipment from multiple vendors. |
