Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1N5353AE3/TR13 is a silicon-based single zener diode that can handle up to 3.2 volts. It has a wide range of applications and is used mainly for regulation, voltage references and protection. This article aims to explain the application fields of the 1N5353AE3/TR13 and its working principle.

Application fields:

The 1N5353AE3/TR13 is most commonly used as a voltage regulator in DC circuits, as it is able to accurately maintain a stable voltage output by allowing current to be passed in one direction while blocking current in the reverse direction. It is also used to control voltage and current transients in analog circuits, providing protection against excessive current or voltage. Additionally, it can be used as a reference voltage in DC power supplies or other power systems, such as distributing AC voltage of a certain level.

The 1N5353AE3/TR13 is also used in protection circuits against overvoltage and in many other applications such as: clamping circuits, attenuating voltage spikes, switching regulators, dynamic braking circuits, and more.

Working principle:

The 1N5353AE3/TR13 works by having two contacts, an anode and a cathode. Current can only flow from the anode to the cathode and not the other way around. The diode is constantly trying to reach a balance where the current will not be able to pass through and will stabilize at a certain voltage, known as the cut-off voltage.

When a voltage higher than the cut-off voltage is applied to the diode, an avalanche breakdown occurs which allows the current to pass through the diode even when the voltage is higher than the cut-off voltage. This avalanche breakdown is what makes the diode act as a voltage regulator by allowing the current to have a set path of current flow and stabilizing the voltage. The voltage that is reached with the current stabilizing is called the zener voltage and it is the main application of the 1N5353AE3/TR13.

Conclusion:

The 1N5353AE3/TR13 is a silicon-based single zener diode that is mainly used for voltage regulation, voltage references and protection. It is able to accurately maintain a stable voltage output by allowing current to be passed in one direction and blocking current in the reverse direction. The diode works by having two contacts, an anode and a cathode. When a voltage higher than the cut-off voltage is applied to the diode, an avalanche breakdown occurs, which allows the current to pass through the diode even when the voltage is higher than the cut-off voltage. This avalanche breakdown is what makes the diode act as a voltage regulator and is the main application of the 1N5353AE3/TR13.
