It is also used in test and measurement applications as a voltage reference for signal conditioning systems.

Working Principle

In its normal operating mode, a Zener diode behaves like a standard diode. When a voltage is applied between its anode and cathode, it allows current to flow in the forward direction. If a voltage greater than the diode\'s breakdown voltage (VZ) is applied between the anode and cathode, then the Zener diode enters its breakdown region and current will start to flow in the reverse direction. This reverse current will be equal to the difference between the applied voltage and the breakdown voltage, and will remain constant as the voltage is increased higher than the breakdown voltage.

The current through the diode will be limited by the resistance of the circuit in which it is placed, and this current is then used to create a stable reference voltage. This reference voltage is beneficial in many circuit applications, as it allows for precise control of the circuit’s operation. The BZX585-C5v1,115 diode is an ideal choice for these types of applications as it can provide accurate and stable voltage references.
