2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does a Zener diode do?
Hint: Think about what happens when the diode is reverse-biased.
What is Zener voltage?
Hint: It's the voltage level the diode 'holds' constant.
What is the primary function of a Zener diode?
What's the unique operation mode of a Zener diode?
True or False: Zener diodes can only operate in forward bias.
Consider how regular diodes function compared to Zener diodes.
A Zener diode with a Zener voltage of 10V is placed in a circuit where the input voltage varies between 12V and 15V. Explain how it behaves and what the output voltage would be.
Consider the operating condition of the diode in both voltage states.
Describe a scenario where the choice of a Zener diode over a regular diode would be critical. Explain your reasoning.
Think about the needs for stability in electronic components.
