What is break down region of zener diode?

Zener breakdown is the phenomena wherein the Zener diode experiences reverse breakdown at a much lower voltage than a normal diode, which may breakdown in excess of 100 volts, depending on the type. This is useful because the Zener will hold the same voltage after breakdown, regardless of the input voltage, making them excellent for voltage controlled switches and references.


Does diode spoil during breakdown?

no


Why breakdown occurs in diode?

Normally too higher voltage burns the diode.

What will a Zener diode do at breakdown voltage?

A Zener Diode will continue to show its breakdown characteristics until it gets fried...for example a 5 volt zener will get fried at a breakdown voltage of about 6 volts..this happens because of the large amount of current flowing through the small diode which unfortunately the diode cannot handle.


What indicate 1 in 1N4007 diode?

What is zener break down voltage?

The point in the forward operating region of the characteristic curve where conduction starts to increase rapidly is called Knee voltage of a PN Junction Diode.The breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum reverse voltage to make the diode conduct in reverse.(or) Breakdown voltage is a parameter of a diode that defines the largest reverse voltage that can be applied without causing an exponential increase in the current in the diode.-- Dinakar
