Zener Voltage Formula

Zener Voltage = Zener Resistance*Zener Current
V_z = R_z*I_z

How does zener impedance affect the voltage?

The dynamic impedance of a Zener causes a change in the Zener voltage with current (when above the breakdown voltage). It's thus determines the accuracy of the voltage with change in current. If the Zener current doesn't change in operation, than the Zener impedance is not critical.

How to Calculate Zener Voltage?

Zener Voltage calculator uses Zener Voltage = Zener Resistance*Zener Current to calculate the Zener Voltage, Zener Voltage is defined as the voltage that is sufficient for the reverse breakdown condition thus allowing the diode to conduct in the reverse direction. Zener Voltage is denoted by V_z symbol.
