Zener Diode Temperature Coefficient

View all my tutorials and videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/mjlorton/videos?live_view=500&flow=list&sort=dd&view=1 ------------------------------ Click "Show more" In this video I take a look at the Zener diode used as a voltage reference and the effect of temperature on the stability of the output. (temperature coefficient) By using a normal silicon diode in series which has a negative temp co you can offset the effect of the Zenner's positive temp co.
