R 1 ‘s voltage drop limits the zener diode’s voltage value that the circuit measures. If R 1 ‘s value is 1Ω, then the voltage drop across it is insignificant and, in millivolts, is equal to the zener ...

It’s conventional to use I s0 = 10-12 A to 10-14 A for silicon diodes, but best results may be obtained if its value is derived from a real diode characteristic. 1. Datasheet diode characteristic ...
