3.6 Zener diodes
•Designed to break down at a specific voltage
•Used in power supplies and voltage regulators
•When a large reverse voltage is reached, the diode conducts. •Vz is called the breakdown, or Zener voltage.
11
Typical use of Zener diode
•The Zener diode will not usually conduct, it needs Vs > 12.5V to break down
•Assume Vs fluctuates or is noisy
•If Vs exceeds 12.5V, the diode will conduct, protecting the load
12
Solving ideal diode problems(determining if the diode is on or off)
•Assume diodes are on or off.
•Perform circuit analysis, find I & V of each diode.
•Compare I & V of each diode with assumption.
•Repeat until assumption is true.

15 = (20K)I1 - (10K)I2 1
0 = (10K)(I2- I1) + (10K)(I2- I3)
0 = -(10K)I1 + (20K)I2 - (10K)I3 2

Reverse bias region
•A small current flows when the diode is reversed bias, IS
•IS is called the saturation or leakage current
•IS 1nA
•-VZ is the reverse voltage at which the diode breaks down.
•VZ is the Zener voltage in a Zener diode (controlled breakdown).
•Otherwise, VZ is the peak inverse voltage (PIV)
IS
21
Forward bias region
•For Silicon diodes, very little current flows until V 0.5V
•At V 0.7V, the diode characteristics arenearly vertical
•In the vicinity of V 0.7V, a wide range ofcurrent may flow.
•The forward voltage drop of a diode is oftenassumed to be V = 0.7V
•Diodes made of different materials have different voltage drops V 0.2V - 2.4V•Almost all diodes are made of Silicon, LEDs are not and have V 1.4V - 2.4V

3.4 Analysis of diode circuits(Simplified diode models) p. 159-162
•Ideal diode
•Constant-voltage drop model
•Constant-voltage drop model with resistor
•All use assumptions because actual diode characteristics are too difficult to use in circuit analysis
23
Constant-voltage drop modelI-V characteristics
•A straight line is used to represent the fast-rising characteristics.•Resistance of diode when slope is vertical is zero.
25
Constant-voltage drop with resistor model
•A straight line with a slope is used to represent the fast-rising characteristics.•Resistance of diode is 1/slope.
