Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZM55B5V1-TR3 are diodes belonging to the single zener range. These particular diodes are small signal zeners with significantly improved performance compared to standard zeners. They feature 100V powers supplies and provide low noise and low distortion voltage regulation.

The main application field of the BZM55B5V1-TR3 diodes is power supply voltage regulation, especially in a variety of audio systems. Its extremely low noise feature makes them ideal for these kinds of system, where disturbances could cause serious issues. They are also used for the protection of radio-frequency amplifiers, control circuits, light dimmers and digital camera electronic control devices.

Working Principle

The BZM55B5V1-TR3 are signal zener diodes that are mainly applied for voltage regulation. They act as a kind of reference against which other supply voltages can be gauged. They can sustain the voltage supply and let it flow throughout the system without any substantial loss of energy.

The BZM55B5V1-TR3 includes a shunt regulator that applies a reverse polarity voltage across the zener diode. When the input voltage exceeds a specific voltage, the zener mechanism is activated and the voltage across the diode is stabilized. A controlled current is then allowed to flow between the cathode and anode, preventing any power issues or damaging surges that could cause system malfunctions.

The working principle of these diodes is relatively simple, but their design is extremely intricate and efficient. They are designed to be used in a broad range of electronic devices, and offer superior performance compared to standard zener diodes. Their extremely low noise characteristics also make them ideal for audio applications, where a clear, noise-free signal is essential.

Conclusion

The BZM55B5V1-TR3 are single zener signal diodes that are mainly used for voltage regulation in power supplies and audio systems. With extremely low noise levels, these diodes offer superior performance compared to standard zener diodes. Their simple and effective design is suitable for a broad range of electronic devices, and can help provide reliable, safe and clean power throughout a system.
