Zener diodes are a type of diode designed to allow current to flow in the opposite direction to its normal direction, under specified conditions. The SMAZ7V5-13 is a single Zener diode designed specially to function as a shunt regulator.

A Zener diode is a type of diode specifically designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region. This mode of operation is characterized by a high output impedance, allowing the electrical current to pass through the device in both the forward and reverse directions.

The SMAZ7V5-13 is a silicon-based single Zener diode typically used in applications where common threshold voltage levels of around 7V are needed. It features a reverse breakdown voltage (Vz) of 7V ± 5% and a maximum power dissipation of 67mW.

The SMAZ7V5-13 offers good ESD protection, making it ideal for shunt regulator applications in low-noise circuits. It can also be used in level converter circuits, voltage detectors, voltage-supplied circuits, or wherever a stable voltage reference is needed.

The general working principle of the SMAZ7V5-13 is simple. When the applied voltage to the diode reaches its Zener breakdown, the diode’s internal resistance is reduced, allowing current to flow in the reverse direction. This causes the voltage dropped across the diode to become constant and stable at its rated breakdown voltage, regardless of further increases in the external source voltage.

The SMAZ7V5-13 is a versatile, slim-package diode that is ideal for use in a variety of low-noise, shunt regulator applications where low power consumption and high stability are key requirements. The diode’s low cost and small size make it a great choice for designers who need to save space and cost in their design.
