weknowthewor Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 how can zener diode be used as a voltage regulator
YT2095 Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 with a Resistor in line across a voltage source, the PD taken across the Zener will be at a constant voltage. (unless the voltage drops below the zener threshold).
Externet Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 A zener diode is like a spill lip on a dam. Depending on the value of the zener (or height of a spill lip) , the voltage is kept constant as the level of the dam. Miguel
