Ideally, the reverse breakdown has a constant breakdown voltage. This makes it useful as a voltage reference, which is its primary application. Random topics just for revising some concepts.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
