- Why Zener diode is used as a Voltage regulator
Answers
The function of a regulator is to provide a constant output voltage to a load connected in parallel with it in spite of the ripples in the supply voltage or the variation in the load current and the zener diode will continue to regulate the voltage until the diodes current falls below the minimum IZ(min) value in the ...
➡zener diode as a Voltage regulator :-
this is the most important application of a zener diode.priciple from the above v-i characteristic of zero diode we can say that, zener voltage remain constant. even though the current the diode varies over a wide range. if a zener diode is joined in reverse bias to the fluctuating . DC input voltage through a resistance R then, the constant output Voltage is taken across a load resistance connected in parallel with zener diode.
