Zener diode is a type of diode that permits current not only in the forward direction like a normal diode, but also in the reverse direction if the voltage is larger than the breakdown voltage known as "Zener knee voltage" or "Zener voltage" & Voltage regulator is a regulator used for stabilizing the magnitude of the DC output voltage against the variations caused by changes in the load current and input voltage
