PTV5.6B-M3/84A is a single zener diode, with a maximum power dissipation of 500mW. It has an array of different application fields, ranging from power supply design, as a voltage regulator to circuit protection.

The most common application field for this device is in the power supply design. It is mainly used to provide a stable DC output voltage. When connected in series with a basic supply, it offers some degree of current limiting capability. When used in this way, the resistor is adjusted so that a specific operating point is set. Thus, when a load is connected, the voltage drop will be equal to the zener voltage.

This type of device is also used in different areas of circuit protection. This is because it has the capability of clamping the voltage at a specific level of reverse blocking, irrespective of the input voltage applied. This is possible when the voltage at the cathode is greater than the breakdown voltage and the diode is switched on. In this way, it can act as a protector against power overvoltage conditions.

The zener diode is also employed in several types of voltage stabilization circuits. It also finds some degree of application in analog integrated circuit design. It is also used in the design of analog switches and logic circuits.

The working principle of a zener diode is based on the Principle of PN junction, as with all diodes. However, the breakdown voltage, also known as the zener voltage, of a single zener diode is different from that of a PN junction diode. The PN junction diode is designed to open, or interrupt, the current flow when a certain threshold voltage is reached. The zener diode, on the other hand, is designed to conduct in the reverse direction when the voltage level surpasses the zener voltage.

The voltage across the zener diode remains constant, despite changes in current levels, as long as it is not greater than the maximum allowable dissipation. This is because it remains in a region of negative resistance where current is inversely proportional to voltage.

In summary, PTV5.6B-M3/84A is a single zener diode. It has a variety of applications, such as in power supply design and voltage stabilization circuits. Its working principle is based on the Principle of PN junction, but is designed to conduct in the reverse direction when the voltage level surpasses the zener voltage. As a result, it can be used to provide a stable DC voltage output and to provide circuit protection.
