Hello friends......welcome to our blog, today we are here discuss about the applications of zener-diode. In my last post we discussed about zener-diode, hope we gave our level best to explain the topic. So today we are back with some more confidence to go forward and give much more knowledge from our side let's go through the topic..
Applications of Zener-diode:
As we know what is zener diode and how it will work our next question is ''what are the applications of zener-diode?''
The term zener is commonly used for the avalanche, or breakdown, diode even at higher voltages.
The main application of this type of diodes are voltage regulators.
we all know that a zener diode maintains a constant output voltage in its breakdown region even though the current flowing through it is varied in its operating region.Zener diode is used to minimize the the voltage fluctuation of a dc power supply obtained by the rectifier-filter combination this is why we use zener diode in
voltage regulator we can simply called it as zener regulator.
The term regulator itself says that regulate means to control.
If we introduce zener diode in a circuit we can understand easily.
In the above diagram it is a shunt regulator because of the regulator element is parallel to the load.
To limit the current through the zener diode series resistance R is introduced whose value can be chosen from the following equation.
R=(V1-V2)/(zener current + load current).
We have more applications in zener diode in various fields of electronics.In our further topics we will be learn more about this.In the next topic we will discuss some more topics briefly so please stay tuned....thanks for visiting us and please share to maximum extent to better people to stay in...
