An uncomplicated circuit application of a ZD is the common shunt voltage regulator. If you have a Zener diode (ZD) of unknown characteristics or if you want to use reverse-biased transistor junctions ...

We always enjoy [w2aew’s] videos, and his latest on zener diodes is no exception ... For example as part of a voltage reference circuit, since they can be reasonably accurate if the load ...

The red LED provides visual indication of the current flowing through the resistor-zener-diode circuit. The higher the current, the brighter the LED will light. You can omit this LED if you don’t need ...

For the longest time, Zener diode regulators have been one of those circuits that have been widely shared and highly misunderstood. First timers have tried to use it to power up their experiments ...
