What is the significance of Zener resistance?

Zener impedance is the equivalent series resistance of a Zener diode when it is conducting current. It is calculated as a change of Zener voltage, (ΔVZ), that occurs as a result of a tiny change in Zener current, (ΔIZ). Zener impedance should ideally be zero, but in reality, a Zener diode has some impedance.

How to Calculate Zener Resistance?

Zener Resistance calculator uses Zener Resistance = Zener Voltage/Zener Current to calculate the Zener Resistance, The Zener Resistance is defined as the opposition offered to the current flowing through the Zener diode in the operating region. It is also known as Zener Impedance (ZZ). Zener Resistance is denoted by Rz symbol.
