The 1PGSMB5956 R5G is a small-signal diode suitable for use in low-current and low-voltage applications. It is made up of a single Zener element with a range of breakdown voltage values spanning from 5.1V to 30V. The device provides stable parameters over a wide temperature range from -65C to +175C. It is also characterized by fast response, low forward voltage and ultra-low leakage current. The device is hermetically sealed for reliable operation in all types of environments.

Applications

The 1PGSMB5956 R5G diode is commonly used in a variety of applications. It can be used in voltage regulation circuits, noise suppression and low current beta gain compensation. It is also suitable for applications such as voltage clamps, DC-DC converters, high-voltage multipliers and voltage superimposition. It is also suitable for various consumer audio and video applications.

Working Principle

When the forward voltage applied to the diode exceeds the Zener voltage, the diode conducts in the reverse direction and the voltage is clamped at the Zener voltage. This operation is known as the Zener voltage regulator principle, which is the basis for the diode\'s most common application. When a voltage higher than the Zener voltage is applied to the diode, an avalanche breakdown is triggered.

The device also features a very low forward voltage drop, which makes it suitable for use in low current applications. The diode\'s avalanche breakdown voltage is also relatively low (typically between 5 to 30V), allowing it to be used in a wide range of voltage regulation applications.

Finally, the device also offers a low reverse leakage current, which makes it suitable for use in noise suppression and low current beta gain compensation applications. This also allows the device to be used in applications where a high level of accuracy is required.

Conclusion

The 1PGSMB5956 R5G diode is a single-element Zener diode suitable for use in low-current, low-voltage applications. Typical applications include voltage regulation, noise suppression, low-current beta gain compensation and voltage clamps. The device is characterized by a wide temperature range, fast response, low forward voltage, and low leakage current, as well as a moderately low Zener voltage. This makes the device suitable for use in a variety of applications.
