How Temperature Changes Impact Zener Diode Behavior
Temperature changes have a significant impact on the behavior of Zener diodes due to their voltage temperature coefficient (αvz). This coefficient represents the percentage change in Zener voltage per degree Celsius (%/°C) or millivolts per degree Celsius (mV/°C). The αvz can range from -0.09 %/°C for low-voltage Zeners to as high as +0.110 %/°C for … Read more
