Working Principle

A Zener diode is a type of diode that operates reversely, allowing current to flow from its P-type anode to its N-type cathode. These two terminals are connected to a Zener junction, which reduces the voltage required to start current flow through the diode. When the voltage across a Zener diode is higher than the breakdown voltage (Zener voltage), the diode will start to conduct current with a low threshold voltage.

Unlike traditional diodes, Zener diodes are specifically designed to have a breakdown voltage (also known as Zener voltage) that remains constant regardless of the amount of current that passes through them. This makes them ideal for voltage regulation applications, as they will maintain a constant voltage across the load regardless of any external changes in supply or load currents.

The breakdown voltage of a Zener diode is determined by the amount of doping applied to the PN junction. When a current passes through the junction, it knocks electrons from the P-type side over to the N-type side, creating a voltage drop across the diode. The higher the concentration of doping on the PN junction, the higher the breakdown voltage becomes, resulting in a more stable and consistent voltage regulation.
