1N4700UR-1 Application Field and Working Principle

1N4700UR-1 is an axial-leaded Zener diode, which has an reverse breakdown voltage of 5.1V. It has a low Zener impedance and low reverse leakage current which makes it suitable for voltage regulation applications where low power dissipation is required.

1N4700UR-1 offers a good choice of voltage regulator and voltage reference applications because of its temperature stability and low leakage current. It can also be used in many other applications like AC adapter, accessory adapter, and DC/DC converters. The 1N4700UR-1 is often used in circuits to provide a low voltage reference for voltage regulation.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 1N4700UR-1 is based on the fact that the diode can act as a voltage regulator when the voltage across it is varied. When the diode is reverse biased, an electric field is created between the N-type and P-type resistors creates a voltage drop across the diode. If the applied voltage is greater than the breakdown voltage of the diode, the electric field will break down and the current will flow through the diode. The diode will then act as a voltage regulator, allowing only a certain amount of current to flow through it. This is the principle of Zener breakdown.
