1N4736A-TAP

The 1N4736A-TAP is a high efficieny, low reverse leakage and low voltage Zener diode. Zener diodes are widely used in applications such as voltage regulation, surge protection, ripple suppression, and low drop-out regulator products. It is a device which utilizes the properties of a semiconductor diode to regulate voltage.

The 1N4736A-TAP is a single type Zener diode with a breakdown voltage for low power consumption. It offers an excellent thermal stability of +-0.25%, reverse current of 0.25mA, and a peak power dissipation of 500mW. The device has a low reverse leakage current of 3uA, which makes it ideal for use in applications where power efficiency is important. It has a high forward voltage of -2V, low Z-point of 25mV and a breakdown voltage of approximately 10V. The sizes of the device are typically 0402/0603/0805 packages.

The working principle of the 1N4736A-TAP is based on the operation of a Zener diode. It allows the reverse current flow through the diode only when the applied voltage reaches the breakdown voltage of the device, commonly known as the "Zener voltage". When the applied voltage is higher than the Zener voltage, the current flows from the anode to the cathode, allowing the diode to operate as a regular diode. Meanwhile, the device prevents the pressure from the anode and cathode from destabilizing the circuit. When the applied voltage reaches or exceeds the Zener voltage, however, the current reverses direction, and the current is forced to continue to flow from the cathode to the anode. When this happens, the applied voltage is limited to the Zener voltage, which allows the circuit to maintain a constant voltage.

The 1N4736A-TAP can be used in a variety of applications including portable electronic devices, computers and peripherals equipment, electrical service equipment, security systems, RF transceivers, motor drives and controllers, auto electronics and many more. Its low power consumption and low reverse leakage current make it ideal for battery operated and other power-sensitive applications. Other applications include, but are not limited to, overvoltage protection circuits, LED drivers, voltage regulators and voltage references. The 1N4736A-TAP can also be used in pulse-skipping or pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuits. In these applications, the device can provide constant switch-off time for the PWM circuit, which results in reduced current consumption and improved power efficiency.
