Topic: Analog Circuits
A Zener diode, when used in voltage stabilization circuits, is biased in
- A. reverse bias region below the breakdown voltage
- B. reverse breakdown region
- C. forward bias region
- D. forward bias constant current mode
Answer: B. reverse breakdown region
Explanation: The diode in the reverse biased region above breakdown voltage will regulate the load voltage against variations in load current and against the variations in supply voltage.
