  2. Voltage-regulator tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-regulator_tube

    Electrically, these devices resemble Zener diodes, with the following major differences: They rely on gas ionization, rather than Zener breakdown; The unregulated supply voltage must be 15–20% above the nominal output voltage to ensure that the discharge starts; The output can be higher than nominal if the current through the tube is too low.

  3. Zener diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_diode

    A Zener diode is a special type of diode designed to reliably allow current to flow "backwards" (inverted polarity) when a certain set reverse voltage, known as the Zener voltage, is reached. Zener diodes are manufactured with a great variety of Zener voltages and some are even variable.

    Zener diode for high-reliability applications in QuadroMELF package. Because of their cylindrical shape and small size, these components can roll off the workbench or circuit board before they have been soldered into place. As such, there is a joke which suggests an alternate meaning for the acronym: Most End up Lying on the Floor. They are ...

  5. Zener effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zener_effect

    In electronics, the Zener effect (employed most notably in the appropriately named Zener diode) is a type of electrical breakdown, discovered by Clarence Melvin Zener. It occurs in a reverse biased p-n diode when the electric field enables tunneling of electrons from the valence to the conduction band of a semiconductor , leading to numerous ...

    Zener diode – allows current to flow "backwards" when a specific set voltage is reached. Transient voltage suppression diode (TVS), unipolar or bipolar – used to absorb high-voltage spikes; Varicap, tuning diode, varactor, variable capacitance diode – a diode whose AC capacitance varies according to the DC voltage applied.

  7. Semiconductor device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_device

    A semiconductor diode is a device typically made from a single p–n junction.At the junction of a p-type and an n-type semiconductor, there forms a depletion region where current conduction is inhibited by the lack of mobile charge carriers.
