Question

What can I contribute or apply in computer engineering wirh the zener diode?

Answer 1

Application of Zener Diodes

Kindly note that you can apply zener diodes for voltage regulation, as reference elements, surge

suppressors, and in switching applications and clipper circuits.

This application happens on the basis of voltage regulation:

 The load voltage equals breakdown voltage VZ of the diode. The series resistor limits the

current through the diode and drops the excess voltage when the diode is conducting.
