1N4535

The 1N4535 is a single silicon junction Zener diode that provides the essential characteristics necessary for a wide range of power control and voltage regulation applications. It has a reverse breakdown voltage from 3.3V to 200V and can dissipate up to 1W power. This diode is manufactured using both standard and ultra-fast manufacturing processes, making it suitable for high frequency applications. This device is ideal for use in low-power voltage-regulating circuits and provides a steady, fixed reference voltage.

The device has a symmetrical construction with a relatively wide junction and great power dissipation. This makes it suitable for use in pulse applications. Additionally, it has a low reverse leakage current and a low capacitance, making it well-suited for use in automotive, consumer, and industrial applications.

The working principle of the 1N4535 involves applying a reverse bias across its terminals. When the reverse bias is greater than the breakdown voltage (V_b), the diode enters a region known as the ‘Zener Region’. In this region, a small current flow begins, producing a voltage drop across the diode and providing a regulated output. Under normal operation, the diode is operated in the ‘Ohmic Region’, where the voltage across the device is proportional to its current.

The 1N4535 is used for a variety of applications, such as DC-DC converters, power supplies, voltage regulators, sensors and transducer circuits, base biasing of transistors, current sources, rectifiers, and surge protection. The device can provide both isolation and voltage stabilization and can be used in applications that require multiple voltages, such as computer motherboards. It is also suitable for use in high-current applications, including primary and secondary rectifiers, commutator limiters, and regulated Zener references.

The 1N4535 Zener diode is a popular diode used in a variety of consumer and industrial applications. It is used to control power and voltage in circuits, protect against voltage surges, or provide a constant reference voltage. The device is well suited for high frequency applications and can handle up to 1W of power. Therefore, it is a reliable component for a wide range of power control and voltage regulation applications.
