Working principle

The PTV30B-E3/84A is a single Zener diode. This type of diode is different from the normal, forward-biased diode in the way it works. It is reverse-biased, meaning that current flows more easily in the reverse direction than the forward direction. This allows the diode to regulate the voltage applied to it.

The PTV30B-E3/84A is designed with a junction which consists of two layers of lightly-doped materials, giving it a wide breakdown voltage range. When a reverse-biased voltage is applied to the diode, the electrons move to the more heavily-doped side, recombining with the holes and creating a virtual short circuit. This short circuit then allows the current to flow in the reverse direction, allowing the diode to regulate the voltage applied to it.

When the voltage is increased, the current flowing through the diode will remain constant. This means that the diode can be used to regulate the voltage applied to a circuit, allowing it to maintain a steady output voltage. This is useful in power supply circuits, where a steady voltage and current is required for the circuit to operate correctly.

The PTV30B-E3/84A is a robust and reliable diode, capable of handling high currents with minimal voltage regulation errors. It is well suited for a wide range of applications, including protection from electrical interference, voltage control, and over-voltage protection.
