Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In our previous lectures, we have studied two types of diodes i.e. Basic PN diode and Schottky Diode. Today, we will discuss the third type of diode i.e. Zener Diode. Zener Diode was invented by the American engineer Clarance Melvin Zener, so it's named after him. The specialty of the Zener diode is that it can operate in both forward-biased and reversed-biased directions. In today's post, we will have a look at its working, features, ratings, construction and applications. So let's get started with what is the Zener Diode.
