What is Meant by Zener Diode?
In physics, the Zener diode is also known as the breakdown diode that is heavily doped in the semiconductor devices. It is a silicon semiconductor with the p-n junction, which is specially designed to work in the reverse biased condition. The main objective of the Zener diode is that it works as a voltage regulator to maintain the constant voltage. Due to this special feature, it is used as a voltage regulator in the D.C circuit. When it is forward biased, it works like a normal diode. But when it is reverse biased, the voltage remains constant for the wide range of current. The notation used to represent the Zener voltage is given as VZ.
