Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1N5341AE3/TR13 diode is a single, common Zenner diode. It is a voltage-regulating diode that functions as a normal diode when forward biased, and as a variable voltage-regulator when reverse-biased. It is composed of a heavily doped semiconductor that contains two p-type and n-type layers. It is designed to provide a relatively constant voltage in the region between its knee voltage point and the clamp voltage point.

The diode is use in a variety of environments, from automotive applications to power supply design. Its cost and reliability make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in constant voltage and constant current applications, as well as to protect against reverse polarity.

Working Principle

When connected to a power source, the 1N5341AE3/TR13 diode functions like a normal diode. This means that the electrons flow from the n-type semiconductor layer to the p-type semiconductor layer. This creates the diode\'s primary dc current path and it will continue to conduct until the voltage at its anode terminal reaches the diode\'s forward voltage point (also called its knee point).

When the diode is reverse-biased, a variable voltage regulator is formed. The reverse current flow is determined by the voltage applied to the diode\'s anode. By adjusting this voltage, the current flowing through the diode can be accurately controlled within the limits given by the diode\'s clamp voltage point. This is the second dc current path of the diode, and it will remain active until the forward current reaches the diode\'s breakdown voltage.

In addition to the diode\'s two current paths, it also has a third current path called its zener breakdown voltage. This path will be active when the voltage applied to the diode\'s anode terminal reaches its zener breakdown voltage, which is typically lower than the diode\'s clamp voltage point. When this occurs, the diode\'s resistance increases drastically, allowing the current flow to remain relatively constant.

The 1N5341AE3/TR13 diode is a versatile component capable of providing a variety of voltage regulating and current limiting functions. Its cost and reliability makes it ideal for a number of automotive, industrial, and power supply applications.
