Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZT52C5V6LP-7 is a single Zener diode generally used for voltage regulation. Zener diodes are two terminal semiconductor devices that are specially designed to allow reverse flow of current under certain conditions. It is specifically designed for applications where a small voltage is passed across it in reverse. It has a predictable behavior making it ideal for voltage regulation.

Application Field

BZT52C5V6LP-7 is mostly used as voltage regulator to provide consistent output voltage and to protect circuits. In terms of input and output, it can take input and output of 0.2W and 2W respectively, and it has a maximum of 6V. It is used in adjusting the reference levels of various operating notes or to protect against overvoltage transients.

Working Principle

The BZT52C5V6LP-7 diode works on the Zener breakdown principle. Basically, when an electric voltage is applied across a diodes P-N junction, an electric field is created. This electric field helps the carrier in the depletion region of the diode to cross the P-N junction and travel to the anode side. This creates a reverse current flowing through the junction, which is called the Zener breakdown.

The Zener breakdown voltage (Vz) of a diode depends on certain conditions including temperature, free-carrier concentration, junction width and doping concentration. When the applied voltage reaches the Zener breakdown voltage, the diode conducts and by adjusting the Zener diode breakdown voltage, the desired output voltage can be achieved.

The breakdown voltage of the BZT52C5V6LP-7 diode is 5.6V, which is within the range of 2W operation. This is the reason why it is used in applications that require an output of 5-6V.
