Working Principle

The SMA4752-GT3TR single zener diode works on the principle that, when a voltage is applied to a reverse-biased diode, a portion of the voltage drops across the breakdown region. The diode remains in the forward-biased state and the excess voltage drops are dissipated as heat. When the applied voltage reaches a certain level, the diode starts to break down and then, the voltage becomes independent of the applied voltage. This is referred to as the "zener voltage".
