Zener diode:
- A Zener diode is a heavily doped semiconductor device that is designed to operate in the reverse direction.
- A Zener diode operates just like a normal diode when it is forward-biased.
- When the voltage across the terminals of a Zener diode is reversed and the potential reaches the Zener Voltage (knee voltage), the junction breaks down and the current flows in the reverse direction. This effect is known as the Zener Effect.
- The Zener diode acts as a voltage regulator.
