Working Principle

BZX585-B3V9, 115 diodes work in forward and reverse biased directions. In the forward bias mode, the voltage applied to the anode is greater than the voltage applied to the cathode and the current flows in the device. In the reverse bias mode, the voltage applied to the anode is lower than the voltage applied to the cathode and the current is limited by the diode’s breakdown voltage.

In the forward bias, the BZX585-B3V9, 115 is a standard diode and behaves like a simple rectifier. It will allow current to flow if the applied voltage is greater than the “forward voltage” of the diode. When this happens, the current will rise in an exponential manner.

In the reverse bias, the BZX585-B3V9, 115 is a Zener diode and behaves differently than a standard diode. Instead, current will flow if the applied voltage is greater than the breakdown voltage of the diode. In this state, the diode will act as a voltage clamp, providing a constant voltage output. This is due to the Zener effect, which is the ability of the diode to produce a stable voltage with an applied reverse voltage.

Conclusion

BZX585-B3V9, 115 diodes are ideal for a variety of applications. They are suitable for voltage regulation, voltage clamping, and level shifting applications and offer excellent performance for general-purpose use. The device has a wide operating temperature range and is available in both DIP and SMD formats. The diode also has a low capacitance, making it ideal for high frequency applications. The working principle of BZX585-B3V9, 115 diodes is that in the forward bias it is a standard diode and in the reverse bias it is a Zener diode.
