The diode is most suitable for applications where an extremely low dynamic resistance and a low failure rate are required.
Working Principle
A Zener diode works based on a simple principle. Whenever a DC voltage is applied to the diode, an electric current will flow through it. When the voltage across the Zener diode exceeds a certain threshold, known as the Zener voltage, the Zener diodes enters a reverse-bias state and begins to conduct current. This reverse current will cause a sudden drop in voltage across the diode, to a value which is known as the Zener voltage.
As the voltage across the diode remains above the Zener voltage, the current will continue to flow through the diode and will keep the voltage level steady and constant. The result of this is that the Zener diode remains in an "on" state and allows current to pass through while keeping the voltage across the diode at a constant level. The CMZ5348B TR13 is designed to have a Zener voltage of 5.5V ± 3%.
