The working principle behind the SMBJ5367CE3/TR13 diode is simple and effective. The diode is essentially a semiconductor device possessing three terminals. The Anode is connected to the positive voltage source, and the Cathode to the negative voltage source. The Breakdown Voltage, commonly referred to as the Zener Voltage, is the voltage at which the breakdown occurs. When the reverse bias exceeds the Zener Voltage, the diode starts to conduct in the reverse direction, allowing a current to flow through the diode. This current passing through the diode acts to reduce the voltage difference between the Anode and the Cathode to a minimum. As a result, the breakdown voltage is maintained in spite of changes in the input voltage levels, providing a regulated output voltage.

In summary, the SMBJ5367CE3/TR13 is a single zener diode that offers excellent electrical and thermal performance, reverse avalanche capability, and low dynamic impedance. It is suitable for a wide range of applications including protection, voltage regulating, voltage stabilizing, and voltage monitoring. Its working principle involves a reverse biased diode conducting current under predetermined breakdown voltage, providing regulated output voltage.
