Definition: A special type of PN junction diode that operates in reverse biased mode, more specifically in breakdown region is known as Zener Diode. The doping level of the zener diode is somewhat higher than the normal PN junction diode. So that it can give a sharp breakdown voltage. Zener breakdown was first noticed and …
Definition: An electronic component made of semiconductor material that allows conduction of current in only one direction is termed as a Diode. It is a two-terminal device normally formed by fusing p and n-type semiconductor materials each having majority and minority carriers. Let us first see the major contents of this article. Content: Diode Symbol …
