Proper noun
Zener
A surname of German origin.
Although LED forward voltage is far more current-dependent than a Zener diode, Zener diodes with breakdown voltages below 3 V are not widely available. Source: Internet
An exception is when a diode reverse-conducts, either by accident (breakdown of a normal diode) or by design (breakdown of a Zener diode, photo-current of a photodiode). Source: Internet
A simple set of cards was developed, originally called Zener cards citation – now called ESP cards. Source: Internet
If the emitter-base junction is reverse biased into avalanche or Zener mode and charge flows for a short period of time, the current gain of the BJT will be permanently degraded. Source: Internet
