Where are Zener diodes used? A Zener diode is a silicon semiconductor device that permits current to flow in either a forward or reverse direction. Zener diodes are widely used in electronic equipment of all kinds and are one of the basic building blocks of electronic circuits. They are used to generate low-power stabilized supply rails from a higher voltage and to provide reference voltages for circuits, especially stabilized power supplies. The diode is made from heavily doped silicon so that the depletion layer is very thin. Download the PPT to inform yourself better about Zener Diodes.
