SMBJ5368AE3/TR13

Introduction

The SMBJ5368AE3/TR13 is an Ultra Fast, High Voltage Zener Diode from Diodes Inc. This diode is designed for a range of applications and is available with a wide variety of different characteristics.

Application and Working Principle

The SMBJ5368AE3/TR13 diode is used in a variety of applications such as frequency control and voltage regulation. This diode functions primarily as a voltage regulator by limiting the current and zener voltage in a circuit. The Zener effect, when the diode is reversed biased, is responsible for limiting the current and storing energy. The zener voltage is determined by the doping profile of the junction and is affected by the voltage applied to the junction. When the current attempts to rise above the diode\'s rating, the diode begins to reduce the current flow to maintain the voltage set by the diode.

The SMBJ5368AE3/TR13 diode has an operating temperature range from -55°C to +175°C and has a maximum forward voltage of 15 volts, with an operating voltage from 10 volts. The reverse leakage current is 5mA at 25°C. This diode has a power dissipation of 500mW and a maximum clamped power dissipation of 2.2W.

This diode is a single mode diode, which is not as common as dual mode diodes. This diode is designed for use in both AC and DC applications and is capable of withstanding extremely high voltage transients. It is also UL Recognized and RoHS Compliant, making it a highly versatile part for many applications.
