Below, the working principle and application fields of the CMDZ5260B TR are explained in detail.

Working Principle of the CMDZ5260B TR

The CMDZ5260B TR is an avalanche-rated, low-cost, and widely-used, zener diode. Its operation is based on the tunneling effect, which is an attractive option for regulating voltages. This external process occurs when electrons pass over a barrier between two different types of material due to their energy. This process is called tunneling and can be used to regulate voltages. In the CMDZ5260B TR diode, the tunneling effect is controlled by a voltage-dependent current that helps to maintain a predetermined voltage across the diode. This way, the CMDZ5260B TR is able to control a power supply\'s output voltage or protect a circuit from over-voltage.

This effect is due to the PN junction formed by the materials used in the CMDZ5260B TR. A PN junction is formed when two materials with different electrical properties are joined together, creating a "valley" of electrons and holes. When the voltage across the PN junction exceeds the material\'s breakdown voltage, the electrons and holes tunnel through the junction and form a current.

The CMDZ5260B TR is also designed with temperature coefficients to ensure the diode remains stable over a wide temperature range. This ensures the diode can be used in extreme temperatures without compromise to its performance.
