Diodes, also known as rectifiers, are electronic components that allow the current to flow in one direction. Zener diodes, specifically, are diodes that allow current to flow in either direction when the voltage reaches a certain ‘breakdown’ or ‘knee’ voltage. The NZX5V1D-133 is a single Zener diode which utilizes this feature to regulate the voltage and current flow within devices, ensuring that circuits work safely and reliably.

The NZX5V1D-133 has a breakdown voltage of 5.1Volts and can handle up to 1.3 Watts of power. Due to its relatively low voltage and power handling capability, it is well suited for a wide variety of low-power applications such as current regulation, voltage clipping, DC/DC converters and more.

To help prevent exceeding the maximum rated power and avoid risk of damage, the NZX5V1D-133 has a reverse current rating of 100nA, meaning that the current will not exceed 100 nanoamps.

The working principle of the NZX5V1D-133 is relatively simple and can be divided into two main processes – Forward Bias and Reverse Bias.

In the forward bias state, electrons are allowed to pass through the PN junction when the voltage is greater than the breakdown voltage of 5.1 Volts. In this state, the diode functions just like any other diode, allowing current to pass from the anode to the cathode.

In the reverse bias state, the diode will act as an insulator, meaning that no current will flow until the applied voltage reaches the breakdown voltage, at which point the diode will "breakdown" and have a spike in current. Active power devices or active circuitry can then use this spike to regulate the voltage and current of the circuit.

The NZX5V1D-133 is a popular, low-power diode with many applications. It can be used in voltage regulators, voltage clipping circuits, power supplies, and other low-power applications. It is an ideal choice for low-power circuit designs due to its small size, low voltage, and reverse current rating.
