Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1N3828A-1 Zener diode is a single diode embodiment of the Zener diode, a component which allows current through in the forward direction, and also in reverse, when the voltage reaches a breakdown voltage. By allowing regulated current through in the reverse direction, the 1N3828A-1 acts as a voltage stabilizer.

Application Field

The 1N3828A-1 is typically used in low power, low voltage and low current applications, such as in 4.7V and 5.1V voltage regulator designs. It is also used to stabilize voltage in electronic circuits, and in production testing of semiconductors and integrated circuits. In addition, the 1N3828A-1 is used in circuit protection in wireless data transceivers and base stations.

Working Principle

Under certain circuit conditions, usually when the voltage applied across the diode exceeds the "breakdown voltage" of the diode, the diode switches on and starts to allow current to flow in the opposite direction. This reverse current will pass through the diode, and regulate the voltage. The reverse current flow is limited to the maximum safe operating current of the diode. When the reverse current reaches the rated current of the 1N3828A-1, the voltage stabilizes and the current continues to flow.

The 1N3828A-1 components feature a wide range of reverse break-down voltages, ranging from 5.1V, 4.7V and even 2.7V, ensuring that the required voltage stabilization can be achieved in the application circuit. The Zener diode also features good heat transfer for high temperature grade applications, and low reverse leakage at room temperature. All of these features combine to make the 1N3828A-1 an ideal voltage regulator for a wide range of applications.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 1N3828A-1 Zener diode is a popular single diode embodiment of the Zener diode, which is used for voltage regulation in a wide range of applications. It is capable of reliably withstanding high temperatures, and features low reverse leakage, allowing users to achieve the precise voltage regulation requirements of their application. The 1N3828A-1 is a versatile and reliable component in any diode-based circuit.
