🔍 Key Concepts

• Reverse breakdown voltage behavior in silicon diodes • The type of diode commonly used as a voltage reference or voltage regulator in power supplies • How different special-purpose diodes (compensating, hot-carrier/Schottky, tunnel) are typically used

💭 Think About

• Which diode type is specifically designed to operate in reverse bias at a well‑defined breakdown voltage without being damaged? • Among the options, which diode is most often associated with providing a stable reference voltage in DC power supply circuits? • Can you match each wrong option to its more typical use (high‑speed switching, temperature compensation, negative resistance, etc.) and eliminate them?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which diode is designed so that reverse breakdown is its normal operating mode in regulation circuits. • Check basic definitions in an electronics reference for voltage regulator / reference diodes. • Eliminate any diode whose primary characteristic is not a precise, repeatable breakdown voltage used for regulation.
