When I tested some low voltage zener diodes (<<5V) 30-40 years ago, I
found that they didn't have even a reasonably sharp knee, behaving more
like LEDs in forward mode, maybe worse. Do I remember correctly? Are
they still the same?
Yup. Soft knees and terrible tempcos.
Bandgaps like LM4040 are great. They get down to 0.1% and 50 PPM/deg
C. 1.2 to 5 volts.
