Diodes - Zener - Single - 1N5370BRL Application Field and Working Principle

The 1N5370BRL has been a widely used single Zener diode for applications such as voltage reference and voltage stabilization. It has a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. This article will discuss the application field of the 1N5370BRL diode together with its working principle.

Application Field

The 1N5370BRL diode has a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use as a voltage reference in circuits that supply power to digital logic systems and microprocessors. It can provide a small amount of current to maintain the specific output voltage. It is also used in voltage regulator circuits due to its high breakdown voltage of 6.8V, allowing it to regulate larger voltages. Other applications include suppression of voltage spikes in circuits, stabilizing oscillator circuits and providing the exchange of current across a reverse biased p-n junction.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 1N5370BRL diode is based on the principle of a Zener diode. It is a junction diode that is designed to handle reverse voltage. It has a high breakdown voltage of 6.8V which allows it to regulate high voltage swings from the input. It is a two-terminal semiconductor device to allow the controlled flow of current from the anode to the cathode. When the applied voltage is above the break voltage, the majority carriers (holes in the p-region and electrons in the n-region) accelerate towards the junction instead of diffusing across it. This creates a high electric field near the junction which then causes a current generated across the junction. This is known as Zener breakdown and allows the diode to regulate the input voltage. When the applied voltage is below the breakdown voltage, the current flow is blocked as the depletion region regains its normal width and the minority carriers are swept away from the junction. Thus, allowing the diode to function as a simple reverse biased diode.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 1N5370BRL single Zener diode is suitable for a wide range of applications. It works on the principle of a Zener diode and can handle reverse voltage up to 6.8V. 1N5370BRL is widely used for applications such as voltage reference, voltage regulator, suppression of voltage spikes and stabilizing oscillator circuits.
