Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZX585-B4V7,135 is a single zener diode, designed for providing a continuous voltage reference and is used in switching supplies, power supplies and in power management circuits. It can also be used in voltage regulation and long time-delay switching. The diode is generally used to provide a stable reference voltage and is therefore also known as a Zener diode.

The BZX585-B4V7,135 has a reverse breakdown voltage of 4 V and a power rating of 400 mW. It can operate over a temperature range of −50°C to +150°C. The diode is housed in the standard SOT-23 package type and has very low forward voltage drop.

The working principle of the BZX585-B4V7,135 involves a reverse bias current passing through the diode. When this current is sufficient enough to cause a break down of the diode, forcing electrons to flow forward, the voltage across the diode is clamped to a fixed value, and hence a stable reference voltage is created. This is often referred to as Zener breakdown, and can be put to use for numerous applications.

In switching applications, the BZX585-B4V7,135 is used as a voltage reference for providing a desired output from the switch. The diode acts as a constant voltage source that provides a determined switching time with a greatly increased accuracy to the switch. Similarly, in power supplies, this diode is used to provide a stable reference voltage, so as to ensure that the power supplies operate within the regulated parameter.

Additionally, the BZX585-B4V7,135 can be used in power management circuits as a voltage regulator. For example, this diode can be used to regulate a voltage source, in order to ensure that the source will maintain a stable voltage when the load is subjected to power surges. Thus, this is used to protect the circuitry and ensure that the circuit will not damage.

The BZX585-B4V7,135 is a reliable and robust Zener diode designed to provide a constant reference voltage. It can be used in a wide range of applications from switching supplies, power supplies and voltage regulation to power management and long-time delay switching. This diode is housed in the standard SOT-23 package and provides excellent value for its cost.
