Abstract :
We investigated temperature dependencies of Zener-diode voltage reference standards. Some Zeners showed output voltage differences between ac line power and battery operation, and the voltage differences were related to the oven temperature change in the Zeners. A waiting time of five hours was suggested when the Zener was operated by the battery.
