This video explains the general characteristics of zener diodes and describes a couple of ways that zener diodes are used. The first application of zener diodes is for voltage protection and this video shows an example of that. The second application is for voltage regulation and this video describes how zeners regulate voltage to a load. An in depth analysis is done on how a particular circuit maintains regulation as the load changes.
