The 1N5955BRLG is a Zener Diode designed specifically as an efficient low voltage regulator diode. The diode is small, thermally stable and cost-effective, and provides quick and easy voltage protection. It is a product of the NXP Semiconductor catalog and offers the convenience of having both a low current voltage regulator and surge protector packed into a single device.

Application Field

The 1N5955BRLG diode is specifically designed for use in highly stabilized voltage regulation applications. It is commonly used in power supply designs, battery chargers, and voltage regulator circuits. The diode\'s low breakdown voltage of 7.5 V and its low forward current of 20 mA make it an ideal choice for reliable, efficient power line protection and voltage regulation. It is also widely used in test and measurement equipment to detect overvoltage and undervoltage conditions, which helps users avoid costly data loss due to power disturbances.

Working Principle

The 1N5955BRLG diode operates by allowing an electrical current to flow freely in one direction, while preventing the current from flowing in the opposite direction. When forward voltage is applied to the diode, the current is allowed to pass through and the diode acts as a short circuit. When the reverse voltage is applied, the current is not allowed to pass through and the diode acts as an open circuit.

The diode also features a Zener breakdown, which is a conductive breakdown process that occurs when the reverse voltage applied to the diode exceeds the device\'s breakdown voltage. This imposes a voltage limit to the current path, thus protecting the device against the momentary overvoltage conditions.

Zener Voltage Regulation

The 1N5955BRLG diode also features Zener voltage regulation. This process allows the diode to act as a voltage regulator by allowing an electrical current to flow from an external source, thereby maintaining a relatively stable output voltage at the diode\'s Zener voltage. This voltage regulation prevents disturbances (such as surges, lightning, and power sags) from impacting the performance of the system.

This diode is also ideal for applications which require high accuracy voltage regulation over a wide temperature range. The 1N5955BRLG is thermally stable and provides tight tolerance for output voltage and maximum reverse current, allowing for increased accuracy in the regulated system.

Conclusion

The 1N5955BRLG Zener diode is an efficient and cost-effective device designed to provide quick and easy voltage protection. It is ideally suited for power regulation and test and measurement equipment applications where voltage protection and voltage regulation performance is required. Its low breakdown voltage and low forward current provide reliable, accurate performance over a wide temperature range.
