Hi,
I`ve bought some 5v1 zender diodes to protect my microcontroller a/d input
(0-5 v input range). (1.3 watt type)

What is the normal tolerence of these devices?
The input is via a 2k2 current limiting resistor. (then a zender accros the
input and earth.
Will it conduct at less than 5v?

Thanks
Darren
