AI-7 VARACTOR—A diode that behaves like a variable capacitor, with the PN junction functioning like the dielectric and the plates of a common capacitor. VOLTAGE GAIN—Ratio of voltage across a specified load. VOLTAGE MULTIPLIERS—Methods of increasing voltages used primarily where low current is required. ZENER DIODE—A PN-junction diode designed to operate in the reverse-bias breakdown region. ZENER EFFECT—A reverse breakdown effect in diodes in which breakdown occurs at reverse voltages below 5 volts. The presence of a high energy field at the junction of a semiconductor produces the breakdown.
