Zener diodes are normal PN junction diodes operating in a reverse biased condition. Working of the Zener diode is similar to a PN junction diode in forward biased condition, but the uniqueness lies in the fact that it can also conduct when it is connected in reverse bias above its threshold / breakdown voltage. These are among the basic types of diodes used frequently, apart from the normal diodes.
