Diodes are devices that allow an electric current to flow through them in one direction, while blocking any current from flowing in the opposite direction. Zener diodes, in particular, are used to prevent an excessively high voltage from degrading or damaging components and circuits in an electrical system. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the single MMXZ5236B-TP Zener diode.

The MMXZ5236B-TP Zener diode is primarily used in electronics, telecommunications, instrumentation and consumer electronics. The device’s Zener voltage range is 18V-40V and its on-state resistance is less than 5 ohms. The device has a maximum power dissipation of 500mW, making it suitable for applications such as voltage regulation, signal processing, power and voltage regulation and circuit protection.

The Zener diode operates on a similar principle to an ordinary diode, with the addition of a zener voltage. This zener voltage is a fixed voltage established across the device which will not change even when subjected to high currents and/or voltages. The zener diode\'s junction consists of a heavily doped P-type semiconductor which is connected to a N-type semiconductor. When a forward voltage applied to the diode is low enough, current will freely pass through the device from the P-type to the N-type material.

As the voltage applied to the MMXZ5236B-TP is increased past its Zener voltage, a Zener breakdown occurs. This causes a large increase in reverse current as electrons from the N-type material tunnel into the P-type material, creating a large number of electron-hole pairs. This phenomenon helps to establish a desired voltage across the device even though an opposite voltage is being applied.

The Zener diode can also be used to limit the voltage applied to a circuit. In this configuration, the Zener diode is placed in series with the circuit and will begin to conduct once the voltage drops below the Zener voltage. This configuration works well in situations where a voltage greater than the Zener voltage may be present, but must be prevented from entering the circuit.

The MMXZ5236B-TP Zener diode is an ideal component for a variety of electronic applications. Its low power dissipation and wide range of Zener voltages make it an ideal choice for voltage regulation, signal processing, power and voltage regulation and circuit protection. Furthermore, its Zener breakdown phenomenon can also be used to limit voltages in certain circuits.
