Jun 24, 2011 at 15:22 comment added stevenvh that graph shows the voltage change vs reverse current. Try to find a graph of tempco vs voltage. You'll find that TC is negative for low voltage zeners, positive for higher voltage zeners, and zero for some value in between. IIRC this value is around 6V, but it could also be a bit lower. I'm not talking about temperature compensated, just zener.

Jun 24, 2011 at 14:36 comment added stevenvh BTW, how does this half a given voltage?
Jun 24, 2011 at 14:34 comment added stevenvh TC for zeners varies with zener voltage. From what I remember from college (more than a few weeks ago) TC is lowest/zero at around 6V.
