1N5384CE3/TR13 is a type of single Zener diodes which is manufactured by ON Semiconductor®. Diodes, especially Zener diodes, are one of the most commonly used components in electronics application, since they are two-terminal semiconductor devices which allow current to flow in one direction, but prevents reversed flow of current. Zener diodes are used in various applications, and single Zener diode like 1N5384CE3/TR13 is commonly used for voltage regulator and controlling electric current.

Application of 1N5384CE3/TR13

1N5384CE3/TR13 is a single Zener diode which features low leakage current rating and low series resistance. It comes with a peak reverse voltage rating of 13 volts, and its VZ (Zener voltage) rating is 13 V. Its operating temperature range is -65°C to 175°C, and storage temperature range is -65°C to 200°C. This diode can be used in various applications, such as in voltage regulation and current regulation - in both AC and DC circuit. It can also be used in clipping circuits and transient protection.

1N5384CE3/TR13 is usually used in medium voltage power systems to provide protection from transient spikes and to control the voltage levels. It is also used in DC power supplies for stabilizing the voltage levels and for controlling the power flows. In addition, this single Zener diode is often used in automotive applications to protect circuits from high energized electrical transients.

Working Principle of 1N5384CE3/TR13

When a reverse voltage is applied to 1N5384CE3/TR13, the voltage magnitude within the diode reaches a certain level which is the VZ (Zener voltage) rating 13 V. Beyond this point, the current flowing across the diode increases abruptly, and the voltage drops only marginally. This phenomenon is known as zener breakdown. This process helps to protect the circuit from high energized electrical transients.

The diode has an associated resistance with it in both forward as well as reverse directions. This resistance is known as junction resistance, and it is basically represented by the dynamic resistance Rz which is the ratio of the voltage change (ΔVZ) during the conduction of the diode, to the changes in current (ΔIZ) flowing through it.

When forward current (IF) flows through the diode, voltage drop across the diode is relatively low, and junction resistance can be found from Ohm’s Law (V = IR). When reverse bias current flows through the diode, the voltage across the diode increases and it reaches the VZ (Zener voltage) rating when the breakdown current (ID) is reached.

The junction resistance of the 1N5384CE3/TR13 is around 0.22 Ω (Zero point two two) when forward current (IF) is flowing through it, and the VZ (Zener voltage) is around 13 V.
