Diodes - Zener - Single

NZX5V1C,133 is one of the most common types of Zener diodes. It is made of a crystal of heavily doped n-type and p-type semiconductors. It has a semimetallic contact between the two junctions. The two junctions are connected in series, and each junction has its own doping level. The doping level of the p-junction is higher than that of the n-junction. This contact point can be used to control the flow of current between the two junctions.

Application fields of NZX5V1C,133

This type of diode has many applications, including:

• Regulating current in power supplies and other power circuits;
• Regulating voltage in voltage regulators;
• Limiting voltage spikes in electronic circuit protection;
• Bringing out digital circuits from a temporarily high-voltage environment;
• Rectification and voltage regulation for digital circuits;
• Voltage control in switching voltage regulators;
• Temperature compensation in oscillators and amplifiers;
• As a temperature sensor;
• Replacing mechanical diodes;
• Resonance in inductive circuits.

Working principle of NZX5V1C,133

The Zener diode works in a reverse-bias condition, meaning that the gate is less positive than the source. Under this condition, electrons from the n-type semiconductor are attracted to the gate while holes from the p-type are repelled. This creates a depletion region around the junction which reduces the flow of current. If the voltage across the diode is greater than the Zener voltage of the diode, the reverse-bias junction breaks down and the diode starts to conduct.

This behaviour can be used in different ways. For example, if you want to regulate the voltage across a circuit, you can use a Zener diode in series with a resistor. The diode will limit the maximum voltage across the circuit, while allowing current to flow when the voltage is lower than the Zener voltage. Likewise, if you need a variable resistance, you can use a variable Zener diode. By varying the Zener voltage, you can control the amount of current flowing through the circuit.

In conclusion, Zener diodes offer an efficient and reliable solution for regulating current and voltage in many applications. NZX5V1C,133 is no exception, and it is a reliable and versatile choice for voltage regulation.
