    This document describes an experiment to observe the static characteristics and voltage regulation of a Zener diode. The objectives are to plot the static I-V curve of the diode and determine its voltage regulation. The circuit uses a Zener diode, resistors, power supply and multimeter. Measurements of the Zener voltage under varying applied voltages are taken. The observations show the Zener voltage remains constant at around 0.8V as the applied voltage increases from 0-14V, demonstrating the diode's voltage regulation property. A graph of the forward and reverse I-V curves is also plotted from the measurements.

    THEORY: Zener diode is a heavily doped PN junction diode. Due to heavily doped, its
    depletion layer is very thin and is order of micrometer. The forward bias characteristic of Zener
    diode is same as the normal PN junction diode but in reverse bias it has different characteristic.
    Initially, a negligible constant current flow through the Zener diode in its reverse bias but at
    certain voltage, the current becomes abruptly large. This voltage is called as Zener voltage.
    This sudden and sharp increase in Zener current is called as Zener breakdown.

    High current through the diode can permanently damage the device. To, avoid high current we
    connect a resistor in series with Zener diode. Once the diode starts conducting it maintains
    almost constant voltage across the terminals whatever may be the current through, it has very
    low dynamic resistance. It is used in voltage regulators.

    I-V CHARACTERISTIC GRAPH(OBSERVED):

    PROCEDURE:

    A) Static Characteristics of Zener Diode


    1) Identify the components required and make the connections on bread board as per circuit
    diagram.
    2) Connect the circuit diagram for diode in forward biasing mode.
    3) Switch on the power supply and increase applied voltage gradually.
    4) Note down the required readings.
    5) Repeat steps 2 to 4 for reverse bias mode.
    7) Tabulate the observations and plot the I-V curve for Zener diode in forward and reverse bias.
    8) From your observations obtain the value of cut-in voltage and breakdown voltage VZ.

    B) Regulation Characteristics
    1) Connection is made as per circuit diagram.
    2) The load is placed in full load condition and the Zener voltage (Vz), Zener current (Iz),
    Load current (IL) are measured.
    3) All the reading are tabulated.
    4) The voltage regulation of any device is usually expressed as percentage regulation.

    PRECAUTIONS

    1) The connection should be tight otherwise fluctuation in voltage and current will happen.
    2) At the turning point of curve, more reading should be taken.
    3) For the plot of Graph, current should be taken mA for both forward and reverse biased
    diode.
    4) The reading should be in multiple of least count.

    CONCLUSION

    The V-I characteristic of Zener diode indicates that characteristic of Zener diode in forward
    bias is same as PN junction diode. In reverse bias, a negligible constant current flow through
    the Zener diode but the current becomes abruptly large at certain voltage. This voltage is called
    as Zener voltage. This sudden and sharp increase in Zener current is called as Zener breakdown.
    Vknee=0.7 volt and VZ= 12 volt.
