1. What are Zener diodes used for?
They are mainly used for voltage regulation, protecting circuits from overvoltage damage, and as a voltage reference source.
-
2. 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.
-
3. Is every diode a Zener diode?
No. Although all Zener diodes are a type of diode, not all diodes can be called Zener diodes.
-
4. Where are Zener diodes used in real life?
Applied to power adapters, overvoltage protection in electronic devices, LED drive circuits, etc.
