Advantages of Zener Diodes

 
The first advantage of Zener diodes is their ability to control and reverse part of the current flowing through it. This means Zener diodes can be used to regulate and stabilize voltages within a circuit and prevent problems resulting from varying voltage supplies. The Zener voltage of a diode allows circuit designers to accurately regulate and stabilize the voltage within a circuit.The next advantage of Zener diodes is their size and affordability. Because they are very small, they can be used in a wide range of small electronic devices like cell phones and other handheld items. Zener diodes can also be used in smaller circuits that wouldn’t work with larger forms of current regulation. Zener diodes are less expensive than other diodes, lowering the cost to produce a device and therefore lowering consumer costs.
 
A third advantage of these diodes is their high performance standards, which often exceed the need of the electronic devices they are installed in. Zener diodes are equipped to handle a higher voltage than the standard operating voltage, meaning they can handle more power. The diode will still operate at standard voltage, but will not blow out if the voltage dips below their threshold. Furthermore, Zener diodes are small enough to allow current to quickly flow through their circuits. The final advantage of Zener diodes is their compatibility and availability. Due to their lower costs and versatility, they are widely used and therefore compatible with many systems, making them a preferred method of voltage regulation.
