How Zener Diodes Work - DC To Daylight

In this episode, we explore the Zener diode and the differences between Zener and avalanche action. Both types of Zener diodes are analyzed on a makeshift curve tracer, while we discuss briefly the differences between quantum tunneling and the avalanche effect. Then we go through a basic example of using the Zener as a voltage reference. https://bit.ly/3GjRepA
