DDZX43-13

Diodes-Zener-Single is the most common type of semiconductor. It is composed of a two-terminal PN Junction with an intrinsic reverse breakdown voltage. Commonly referred to as a Zener diode, it is characterized by its hazardous ability to dissipate reverse voltage, allowing it to regulate voltages evenly. The DDZX43-13 is a diode from this category, boasting a high quality and reliability as well as a large variety of applications. The DDZX43-13 is a silicon-based voltage regulator and its operating principle depends on the breakdown mechanism sourced from the temperature and the electric field between the electrodes.

The breakdown effect in the DDZX43-13 is mainly characterized by three modes – direct avalanche breakdown, reverse-biased breakdown and avalanche-induced surfactant injection breakdown. The direct breakdown voltage, also known as Zener knee voltage, refers to the peak of the current increasing rapidly when the obstacle is exceeded in the reverse direction. The reverse breakdown voltage is determined by the impact ionization process. In the avalanche-induced surfactant injection breakdown, holes and electrons are created during the avalanche, being injected into the semiconductor and forming a channel. This is commonly used in the voltage regulations of various circuits.

The application field of DDZX43-13 is quite broad and it is mainly used in power supplies, switching power systems, various DC-DC converters and other circuit designs. It is best suited for high input voltage and large current materials, due to its superior current stability, low power dissipation and high temperature. In addition, it is also used in small signal amplitude protection, low-noise amplification circuits, as well as high frequency switching devices.

The working characteristics of DDZX43-13 are very similar to those of other Zener type diodes, being characterized by a steady state and minimum reverse breakdown voltage. Due to its low Zener impedance, the DDZX43-13 offers excellent temperature stability in its minimum reverse breakdown voltage and low thermal drift. When used in the reverse direction, it is able to provide a single stable voltage output and it is typically used with capacitors and resistors.

In conclusion, the DDZX43-13 is a semiconductor device that belongs to the Diodes-Zener-Single category. It is mainly used to regulate voltage in power supply and switching power systems as well as in various DC-DC converters. It finds an excellent application in high input voltage and large current materials and its operation is characterized by a continuously stable output voltage known as Zener knee voltage. It also features high temperature stability and low thermal drift, making it a very reliable device.
