Introduction
Reverse characteristic of a
Zener diode. is usually
specified at the zener test
current, and is designated
VZT.
A zener diode maintains an
essentially constant volt-
age across its terminals over
a specified range of reverse
current values.

The Light-Emitting Diode (LED)
Recall that these free electrons are in the conduction band and at a
higher energy level than the holes in the valence band. When
recombination takes place, the recombining electrons release energy in
the form of heat and light.

LED APPLICATIONS
Applications: Low-power LEDs are commonly used for indicator lamps and
readouts such as the familiar 7-segment LED displays widely used in clocks and
similar products.
Bright LEDs are available with various bases, including standard 120 V screw-
type bases, to enable the direct replacement of incandescent bulbs with LEDs.
