1PMT5923CE3/TR13

1PMT5923CE3/TR13 is a single Zener diode component that has many applications in electronics. It has low power dissipating properties, and works with a constant voltage level, which makes it suitable for applications like regulating voltage, protecting circuits from transient excess voltage, and even acting as a precision voltage reference.

Application Field of the Component

1PMT5923CE3/TR13 has many applications across projects in the fields of electronics and electrical engineering. Its principle usage is to regulate voltage levels in different electrical circuits. When connected in parallel with a voltage source, and a resistance, it forms a protective circuit, which prevents transient excesses of voltage.

This component is also a good choice for reverse biased applications, such as preventing the reverse flow of current. It also works as an excellent voltage reference; when connected to the output of voltage regulator ICs or ASICs, it maintains an almost-constant voltage level, while allowing slight variations in the output of the regulator.

The 1PMT5923CE3/TR13 component is used in AC-DC switch circuit designs, for instance as part of a transformerless power supply, as well as surge-preventing circuitry, dual-power supply designs, and more.

Working Principle of the Component

A Zener diode is a diode component with a heavily doped N-type semiconducting junction section. The doping is made so that there is a large concentration of carriers (electrons and holes) on either side of the junction. This results in a very low resistance when the voltage supplied across the two terminals is of a certain value or greater. When the voltage drops lower than the Zener voltage of the diode, the diode’s resistance increases sharply, choking the flow of current.

The N-type section of the diode is connected to the positive voltage (anode). The other side of the diode is connected to the ground or negative voltage source (cathode). When a voltage greater than the rated Zenar voltage is supplied, the component allows current to flow in both reverse and forward directions. However, when the voltage supplied is less than the Zenar voltage, the component ceases to conduct current.

This component has a low power rating, and is suitable for extremely low voltage applications, making it an attractive component in many diode-based circuit designs. It works especially well when it is used as a clamp device, and for preventing potential short-circuit conditions.

Conclusion

The 1PMT5923CE3/TR13 is a single Zener diode component with very low downward resistance characteristics and a low voltage level. Its uses include voltage regulating, surge prevention, and acting as a precision voltage reference. Its miniaturized design makes it suitable for use in many small-scale applications.
