Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) : maximum reverse-bias before entering Zener avalanche region.<br />

Requirement for the diode to behave as rectifier<br />

V m ≤<br />

PIV<br />

If V , there will a short circuited diode<br />

m ≥ PIV<br />

or the diode will enter zener avalanche region.<br />

This will make the diode to loose its function<br />

as rectifier.<br />
