One of the major application fields of the BZV85-C7V5,133 Zener diode is the practice of reverse bias protection in the circuit. It helps in protecting the components from the excessive voltage buildup that can occur due to contact with the power supply. This diode also helps in the reduction of the stray voltage and noise which can be generated in the PCB or board.

Working Principle

When the reverse bias PN Junction diode is forward biased, the majority carriers in the P-region are pulled towards the N-region. This reduces the depletion region in the region of the PN junction, allowing current to flow through it in the forward direction. The diode has two working principles, depletion mode and avalanche breakdown mode.

The depletion mode is when the current flowing through the diode is regulated and limited to a certain amount. This mode of operation of the diode is used in applications in which a constant voltage needs to be maintained. For instance, this mode of operation can be used in voltage regulation.

The Avalanche breakdown mode of operation involves the diode becoming more reverse biased as more current is allowed to flow through it. The diode enters into a state of avalanche breakdown which causes a large amount of current to flow through the diode, regardless of the amount of external voltage applied to it. This mode of operation of the BZV85-C7V5,133 is used in applications such as voltage and temperature regulation and in voltage clamping.

To sum it up, the BZV85-C7V5,133 Zener diode is a single silicon diode available in various packages. It is used in many applications, but the most common ones are reverse bias protection, voltage regulation, temperature regulation, and voltage clamping. The mode of working of the BZV85-C7V5,133 is either depletion mode or avalanche breakdown mode, depending on what application it is used for.
