Zener Effect	- Sometimes called high-field emission, this occurs when the intensity of the electric field becomes high enough to dislodge valence electrons in a reverse biased diode.	breakdown region, breakdown voltage
Zener Resistance	- The bulk resistance of a zener diode. It is very, small compared to the current-limiting resistance in series with the zener diode.
Zener Voltage	- The breakdown voltage of a zener diode. This is the approximate voltage out of a zener voltage regulator.	reference voltage
Zero Adjustments	- The adjustment of a display that results are zero on the display corresponding to a non-zero signal
Zero Crossing	- The point where the polarity of an electrical or sampled signal changes from positive to negative (or vice-versa) as it passes through zero. A zero crossing provides a convenient point to splice two sounds because the levels of the two splice points are the same at zero volts.
