1. Are Zener diodes unidirectional?
In normal operation mode, Zener diodes do exhibit unidirectional conductivity, but they start conducting when reverse biased to their Zener voltage.
-
2. Can 2 Zener diodes be connected in series?
Yes, two or more Zener diodes can be used in series to obtain higher stable voltage values. But pay attention to the power rating and heat dissipation of each diode.
-
3. Where are Zener diodes used in real life?
Applied to power adapters, overvoltage protection in electronic devices, LED drive circuits, etc.
-
4. What happens when a Zener diode fails?
If it is overheated or subjected to excessive current, it may cause permanent damage, which will appear as an open or short circuit state.
