SMBJ4764CE3/TR13

Introduction

The SMBJ4764CE3/TR13 is a single-level Zener diode, which works through a particular kind of voltage breakdown mechanism. It is designed to provide controllable current paths in circuits.

Application Field

While the SMBJ4764CE3/TR13 is primarily used for surge protection, it can be used in a multitude of other applications such as stabilizing DC-to-DC converters, voltage references, overvoltage protection, and more. Its precise Zener voltage breakdown makes it an excellent choice for precise current regulation. Its low leakage makes it an ideal choice for current-limiting applications, such as LED and logic-level protection.

The SMBJ4764CE3/TR13 is also capable of handling high power dissipation and has a broad operating temperature range, making it suitable for applications in a wide range of industries, such as automotive, telecommunications, consumer and industrial electronics.

Working Principle

The SMBJ4764CE3/TR13 is a Zener diode, which means it works through a particular kind of voltage breakdown mechanism. It has two electrodes, a cathode, and an anode. When a current is applied to the anode side of the diode, a voltage builds up across the diode until it reaches a value known as the Zener voltage. When this voltage is reached, it causes a sudden decrease in current and a rapid rise in voltage, due to the avalanche effect.

This voltage remains relatively constant, even when current is applied, which means the SMBJ4764CE3/TR13 is ideal for applications where precise regulation of current or voltage is required. The Zener voltage of the SMBJ4764CE3/TR13 is 4.7 V.

Conclusion

The SMBJ4764CE3/TR13 is a single-level Zener diode designed primarily for surge protection. It is also suitable for many other applications, including voltage references, overvoltage protection, current-limiting circuits, and more. Its precise Zener breakdown voltage provides precise current and voltage regulation, and its high power dissipation and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for a variety of applications. Its Zener breakdown voltage is 4.7 V.
