Question

What is zener diode made of and how it works answers?

Answer 1

A Zener diode is a particular type of diode that, unlike a normal one, allows current to flow not only from its anode to its cathode, but also in the reverse direction, when the Zener voltage is reached. Zener diodes have a highly doped p-n junction.

Working principle: Zener breakdown

Invented: Clarence Melvin Zener

Pin configuration: anode and cathode

Answer 2

zener diode made of heavly doped N and P type of semiconductors , the quantity of doping semiconductors is kept different so that their break down voltages are different .

its work different voltage levels have different voltage capacity.

i hope its help you
