Zener diode is a diode which is used in its break down region. The diode is kept reverse biased in a circuit, and so it does not allow current to pass until the voltage is greater than the breakdown voltage of the zener.
The most common Zener diode circuit is one in which the Zener diode is used as a voltage reference element. This type of circuit uses the constant voltage as a reference in one of a variety of forms of power supply circuit. There are other Zener diode circuits and applications.
