Diodes based on the Zener breakdown mechanism offer greater control over the voltage regulation of certain circuits. The GLL4762A-E3/96 is a single Zener diode from the Vishay Semiconductor brand family which uses this principle to effectively dissipate a specific current at a specific voltage.

GLL4762A-E3/96 Application Field and Working Principle

The GLL4762A-E3/96 is typically used to regulate the output voltage of power supplies, to protect circuits that could be damaged due to overvoltage or to prevent overvoltage through the steady-state process of voltage regulation.

The device is a Zener diode that operates at a reverse breakdown voltage of 5.1V and with a Forward Voltage Drop of no more than 2.2V. It is made from a PN junction with an area of 96.5 square micrometers and can reach a peak current of 600 mA, a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW, and a reverse leakage current of 1 μA. It is available in both SOT-23 package and flat terminal DO-35.

The working principle of the GLL4762A-E3/96 is based on the Zener breakdown mechanism. That mechanism refers to the Zener voltage, Vz, which effectively occurs when a certain amount of electric field is generated in the device. This electric field is generated when the current through the device is increased to beyond a certain value. The Zener voltage occurs as a result of the strong electric field of the circuit, and it ensures that a steady-state voltage will be achieved even at high currents.

The GLL4762A-E3/96 is designed to dissipate a large amount of power at a low voltage, while also allowing a steady-state output voltage to be maintained. This makes it an ideal choice for systems that require an efficient way to regulate the output voltage of power supplies.

Conclusion

The GLL4762A-E3/96 single Zener diode from the Vishay Semiconductor brand family is a reliable and effective device for voltage regulation and protection in certain circuits. Its working principle is based on the Zener breakdown mechanism, and it efficiently dissipates a specific current at a specific voltage. It is available in both SOT-23 package and flat terminal DO-35 and can handle peak currents of up to 600 mA. It is an ideal choice for systems that require a steady-state output voltage.
