MM3Z13VT1G Application Field and Working Principle

MM3Z13VT1G is a medium-power Zener diode that offers superior Zener Voltage stability over a wide range of current and temperature. This diode offer hermetic packages which are suitable for noise suppression applications, especially pulse noise and circuit protection against transient or induced stress. The package provides low junction capacitance as well as low leakage current, that makes it suitable for high-frequency applications. It also offers high reliability with a wide operating temperature range from -65˚C to 200˚C.

Application Field

The MM3Z13VT1G can be used in applications from LED lighting, telecom, defense and aerospace, industrial controls, to automotive, intelligent systems, and consumer electronics. Due to its superior Zener Voltage stability, the diode is very suitable in noise suppression, voltage regulation, and protection against transient or induced stress. The hermetic package design of the diode makes it more suitable for high-frequency applications, due to its extremely low junction capacitance and leakage current.

Working Principle

The MM3Z13VT1G operates as a Zener diode, which means that the diode allows current to flow in the forward direction, just like a normal rectifier diode. In the reverse direction, the diode offers a controlled voltage which is the breakdown voltage of the diode. When the reverse voltage is higher than this breakdown voltage, then the diode will break down and the current begins to increase exponentially. This behaviour is useful in applications such as voltage regulation and protection against transient or induced stress.

Since the diode offers low junction capacitance and low leakage current, it is suitable for high-frequency applications. The diode\'s hermetic package also helps in reducing interference and noise, which is why it is also used in noise suppression applications.
