| 11. | The device was named after Clarence Melvin Zener, who discovered the Zener effect.
|
| 12. | It will also provide a maximum reverse voltage limited by zener or avalanche breakdown.
|
| 13. | The Zener effect ( or internal field emission effect ) dominates below 7 volts.
|
| 14. | Low energy transient voltages lead to a voltage limitation similar to a zener diode.
|
| 15. | However, many diodes described as " Zener " diodes rely instead on avalanche breakdown.
|
| 16. | This effect is called the Zener effect after the man who estimated this drag force to
|
| 17. | Zener diodes have a low breakdown voltage.
|
| 18. | Rhine called cards bearing these symbols " Zener cards " in honor of his colleague.
|
| 19. | The model was first developed by Zener.
|
| 20. | Zener reverse breakdown is due to electron quantum tunnelling caused by a high strength electric field.
