Working Principle

Zener diodes are designed to breakdown at a pre-determined reverse voltage, which is known as the Zener voltage or breakdown voltage. The Zener voltage is usually between 5 and 200 volts. At the same time, the CMZ5933B TR13 series allows current in the forward direction and blocks current in the reverse direction, just like other diodes. When the voltage applied to the diode is below the Zener Voltage, the diode behaves like a regular diode and does not conduct in the reverse direction.

When the reverse voltage exceeds the Zener voltage, the Zener diode starts conducting in the reverse direction. The amount of current conducted in the reverse direction depends on the load. This is known as Zener Breakdown. As the Zener voltage remains the same over a range of current, the CMZ5933B TR13 series is ideal for regulating the voltage level.

The CMZ5933B TR13 series is designed to maintain a steady reverse voltage even when the forward current changes. This helps to keep the voltage level stable, even in extreme conditions such as lightning strikes, heavy switching operations and inrush currents. This feature makes it well suited for applications that require robustness.

Conclusion

The CMZ5933B TR13 series is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. It is a low cost component with excellent electrical characteristics and robustness. It offers excellent power dissipation, reverse breakdown voltage accuracy and reliability, making it ideal for sensitive applications, automotive industry applications and many other applications.
