Diodes are semiconductor devices that are used to permit or prohibit the flow of electric current in electronic circuits. They are the most basic and fundamental electronic components, and can be found in virtually all electronic circuits. The particular type of diode discussed herein is the single Zener diode, specifically the SMAZ8V2-13 model. In short, the SMAZ8V2-13 is a low voltage, low power Zener diode used for applications requiring a stable reference voltage.

The working principle for a single Zener diode is the same as for any other type of standard diode. That is, when the anode (positive) terminal is more positive than the cathode (negative) terminal, a forward bias condition is established, allowing current to flow. This is true regardless of the voltage polarity; in fact, the voltage drop across the diode is very small in this forward bias state, typically 0.6-1.0V for an SMAZ8V2-13.

The salient feature of a Zener diode is that, when a reverse bias voltage is applied that is equal to or greater than its Zener breakdown voltage (6.8V for an SMAZ8V2-13), it is forced into a specific, reverse breakdown state. In this state, the diode has a high resistance to current flow, but is not an "open-circuit" (i.e., it does not act like an insulator). Instead, a reverse current flows with a much higher voltage drop than the forward bias voltage. This phenomenon, called Zener breakdown, makes the SMAZ8V2-13 ideal for stabilizing a reference voltage.

The SMAZ8V2-13 is well suited to various different applications that require a stable reference voltage. Its low power consumption and low voltage drop make it well suited for a variety of low voltage, low power applications. It is often used in voltage references, voltage regulators, voltage sensors, and phase-locked loop circuits. It has a high peak inverse voltage, which makes it well suited for AC rectification applications. It is also useful in power supply circuits and audio application, such as amplifiers, mixers, and other audio equipment.

The SMAZ8V2-13 is a very robust and reliable device, with a variety of applications due to its low power and voltage requirements. Its low voltage drop and high peak inverse voltage, along with its ability to stabilize a reference voltage, make it a very useful and versatile device. Its low voltage requirement makes it a great choice for low power applications, while its high peak inverse voltage makes it well suited for various rectification applications as well. Its stable reference voltage makes it ideal for many applications requiring a stable reference voltage, such as voltage references and voltage regulators.
