Working Principle of 3EZ130DE3/TR12

The 3EZ130DE3/TR12 Zener diode works on the principle of “reverse breakdown.” When a voltage higher than its “zener voltage” is applied across it, the current flowing through the diode increases significantly. This phenomenon is referred to as “reverse breakdown,” which results from the impending avalanche breakdown when electrons are accelerated by the electric field and collide with atoms, releasing additional energy.

Using this principle, the 3EZ130DE3/TR12 provides a constant voltage output when a range of input voltages is applied to it. It acts as a voltage regulator and helps to stabilize the output voltage and protect the circuit by limiting the voltage within the prescribed limits.
