It also permits the flow of current in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value known as breakdown voltage. A zener diode is a diode manufactured to have a specific reverse-breakdown voltage. Its most common use is as a voltage reference. Zener diode a pn-junction diode that has an abrupt rise in current at a reverse-bias volt-age Vz, which is usually between 3 to 6 volts.
