SMBG5930CE3/TR13

Working Principle

The working principle of the SMBG5930CE3 centers around its ability to regulate the flow of current by operating as a voltage-dependent resistor. Also known as a Zener diode, it is designed with a heavily doped junction, allowing it to operate as a switch or regulator. As the voltage is increased or decreased from the predefined voltage level, the device will change from an ‘OFF’ to an ‘ON’ switch. At lower voltages, the diode acts as an open-circuit component, meaning current cannot flow through it.Once the voltage reaches the reverse breakdown or the Zener breakdown voltage, the component will act as a low resistance component. This means that, once it reaches the maximum voltage, current can flow through it in both directions without any restrictions, ensuring that the device maintains its predefined operating temperature. This is important to protect delicate circuits and components as it prevents electrical overloads and surges caused by too much current running through them. The SMBG5930CE3 also offers superior temperature stability, meaning it will operate effectively and remain within its normal parameters even when exposed to extreme temperatures of up to 150°C.Overall, the SMBG5930CE3 is a versatile component, allowing engineers to operate electronics without fear of electrical overloads and voltage fluctuations. Its superior reliability and temperature-stable operation mean that it can be relied upon in any application, from consumer electronics to industrial photovoltaic systems.
