SMBG5369CE3/TR13

Diodes - Zener - Single

The SMBG5369CE3/TR13 is a Zener diode which functions as a voltage regulator. It is part of the single series of Zener diodes, a family of diode electrical components whose purpose is to regulate electrical surges while also allowing current to flow in one direction.

A Zener diode is a special type of diode and, like all diodes, is made of two parts; an anode (positive end) and a cathode (negative end). A Zener diode works by allowing electrons to flow from the anode to the cathode when exposed to a voltage higher than its breakdown voltage. When this process occurs, it causes the diode to become less resistive and thus, allowing a current to flow without interrupting it.

The SMBG5369CE3/TR13 is designed for use in a variety of applications such as ESD protection, low-voltage regulation, and power supply design. Its breakdown voltage is 5.3V, allowing it to regulate electrical surges up to that specified value. Additionally, it features an operating temperature range of -55 to +150°C and a storage temperature range of -55 to +150°C.

The primary design characteristic of the SMBG5369CE3/TR13 that sets it apart from other types of diodes is its ability to be used to regulate voltages in circuits. This type of diode is commonly used to provide a stable voltage source in power supplies and voltage regulators, allowing a device to have access to a source of power while being protected from excessive current levels.

Unlike other types of diodes, the SMBG5369CE3/TR13 can also be used in reverse biased applications to allow the flow of current without the need for additional components. This is particularly beneficial for applications where power efficiency is a concern, such as in battery-powered devices. In addition, the SMBG5369CE3/TR13 has a fast switching speed and a high stability rate.

The working principle of the SMBG5369CE3/TR13 is fairly straightforward. Like all diodes, it allows the flow of electrons from anode to cathode when the voltage across it is higher than the specified breakdown voltage. At this point, it quickly switches to become non-resistance, allowing electrical current to flow without interference. The result is a steady voltage source for applications that require accuracy and precision.

In summary, the SMBG5369CE3/TR13 is a Zener diode that is part of the single series of Zener diodes and is used for voltage regulation. Its breakdown voltage is 5.3V, making it useful for ESD protection, low-voltage regulation, and power supply design. Additionally, its fast switching speed and high stability rate make it an ideal choice for applications where power efficiency is a concern. Its working principle is straightforward, allowing electrons to pass from the anode to the cathode when the voltage across it is higher than the specified value, providing a steady voltage source.
