Understanding Zener Diodes

Windell H. Oskay from EMSL created a detailed discussion on using Zener Diodes. He has designed a circuit flow using Zener diodes to control the reverse breakdown while designing up a circuit which is impossible to do if he would had used a regular diode. “Zener diodes are a special type of semiconductor diode– devices that allow current to flow in one direction only –that also allow current to flow
