Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1PMT5930A/TR7 is a single zener diode which, with its efficient design and wide operation range, is ideal for a variety of applications. This device can be used as both a static voltage regulator and a transient voltage suppressor, allowing for surprising robustness and high performance for critical circuit protection.

The 1PMT5930A/TR7 is based on Zener diode construction and follows the usual operation principle. It consists of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode. A Zener diode is like a regular semiconductor diode but is designed to break down at any predetermined voltage. When reverse-biased, electrons flow through the junction, activating a built-in region known as the Zener region. Here, the electrons are accelerated and quickly break down the material, releasing energy into the junction in the form of heat. The effect of this is that a Zener diode can maintain a constant voltage across a range of currents.

The 1PMT5930A/TR7 Zener diode has a wide operating range between 10V and 200V. This allows it to be used in a variety of circuits and applications. The diode can be used as a static voltage regulator for providing an electronic circuit with a consistent voltage supply. This is achieved by connecting the device in reverse bias between the cathode and source. The high breakdown voltage also makes it suitable for use as a transient voltage suppressor, where it can quickly clamp high voltage spikes and protect other devices in the circuit. This makes it ideal for use in automobile circuits, power supplies, and lighting systems.

The 1PMT5930A/TR7 is also notable for its wide range of features. It has a low reverse leakage current, meaning it will not draw much energy when no voltage is applied. It has a high breakdown voltage, which makes it suitable for high voltage applications, and a fast response time which helps it to quickly clamp high voltage spikes. The device is also designed to be thermally stable and reliable, making it a great choice for critical applications.

In conclusion, the 1PMT5930A/TR7 is a single zener diode with a wide operating range that is suitable for both static voltage regulation and transient voltage suppressor applications. It is thermally stable and reliable, with a low leakage current and a fast response time that make it ideal for a variety of circuits and applications.
