1. What are the two types of Zener diodes?
Zener diodes are mainly divided into two types: one that works based on the avalanche effect (usually in high voltage applications) and the other that works based on the Zener breakdown mechanism (suitable for lower voltages).

2. What is the difference between a diode and a Zener diode?
While a normal diode is mainly used for unidirectional current flow, a Zener diode is designed to provide a stable voltage reference point when reverse biased. A normal diode conducts when forward biased and does not conduct or has only a small leakage current when reverse biased; a Zener diode can start conducting after reaching a specific reverse voltage (called the Zener voltage).
-
3. What are Zener diodes used for?
They are mainly used for voltage regulation, protecting circuits from overvoltage damage, and as a voltage reference source.
-
4. What is the difference between a Zener diode and a Schottky diode?
Schottky diodes have a low forward voltage drop and fast switching speed, making them suitable for high-frequency applications. In contrast, Zener diodes are mainly used for voltage regulation and voltage stabilization.
