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 />
