Describe how a temperature-compensated zener diode is formed.

What will be an ideal response?


A temperature-compensated zener diode is formed by connecting a zener diode in series with a PN junction diode, with the PN junction diode forward biased and the zener diode reverse biased. By careful selection of the diodes, temperature coefficients can be selected that are equal and opposite. More than one PN junction diode may be needed for proper compensation.
