1N5388CE3/TR8

The 1N5388CE3/TR8 is a single, small-signal, low-power and low voltage Zener diode, available in a SOD-123 package. It is fabricated using advanced planar technology conforming to the specifications of JEDEC SOD-123. The diode features a small size, low leakage current, sharp reverse characteristics, and is suitable for most general-purpose applications.

The 1N5388CE3/TR8 is typically used in applications such as voltage regulators, voltage clamping, reverse polarity protection, and rectifiers. The diode features a Zener breakdown voltage of at least 5 Volts in a wide range of positive temperature coefficients. It has a maximum forward voltage of 1.3 V at a forward current of 100mA, and a power dissipation of 150mW. It has an operating temperature range of -65°C to +125°C.

The general principle of working for the 1N5388CE3/TR8 is based on the behavior of a p-n junction diode. Under forward bias, when a bias voltage is applied to a p-n junction diode, the potential barrier lowers and electrons from the n-side start flowing to the p-side, creating a hole. As the forward bias voltage increases, the current through the diode also rises. The Zener diode is specially designed so that when the bias voltage increases beyond the Zener voltage, a large current suddenly increases.

The 1N5388CE3/TR8 is particularly useful in applications that require its low noise and narrow operating temperature range. It is also useful in applications that require high rate of operation, such as with switching applications. The 1N5388CE3/TR8 can be used in a wide range of applications, such as voltage regulation, voltage clamping, reverse polarity protection, and rectifiers. Furthermore, it is suitable for most general-purpose applications in which a small, fast response Zener diode is needed.

In conclusion, the 1N5388CE3/TR8 is a single, small-signal, low-power and low voltage Zener diode that is used in several applications such as voltage regulators, voltage clamping, reverse polarity protection, and rectifiers. Water temperature coefficient and a wide range of reverse breakdown voltages make this diode especially useful for applications that require precise regulation, low noise and fast response. The 1N5388CE3/TR8 Zener diode features a low leakage current, sharp reverse characteristics, and is suitable for most general-purpose applications.
