Diodes offer a great way to efficiently control the flow of electrical energy. The SMBJ5924BE3/TR13 is a single Zener diode, a device which is used to regulate voltages by allowing current consisting of electrons to flow in one orientation, however preventing it from flowing in the opposite direction. The SMBJ5924BE3/TR13 is distinct from other diodes due to its ability to control a more specific range of voltages. It is a component manufactured by ON Semiconductor, whose components are popular among engineers for their reliable performance.

Application field

The SMBJ5924BE3/TR13 is mainly utilized for its Zener breakdown characteristics, which are the result of an electric field applied to a semiconductor material to reduce the width of the depletion zone. The component has excellent characteristics in temperature and superior power dissipation. This makes it useful for providing a regulated voltage supply in a variety of circuits, particularly those powered by medium to low voltage AC/DC adapters. Examples of specific uses include linear regulators, classic inverted regulators, buck converters and power supply units.

The component\'s high flexibility is especially useful in many different applications, since the Zener breakdown behaviour allows the user to accurately control the voltage to any desired level. Additionally, the component is reliable, so it can be used in applications that require long-term power supply stability, such as in monitoring and control systems.

Working principle

The SMBJ5924BE3/TR13 Zener diode consists of two heavily doped p-type and n-type silicon semiconductor materials. This creates a barrier with a width called the depletion region. When a current is supplied to the device in the forward direction, positive charges on the n-type side drift towards the p-type side, which contains the majority of negative charges, and the electrons on the p-type side drift towards the n-type side.

The generated electric field works to oppose the drift, so the electrons and holes come to a standstill and the depletion region becomes narrower. If the voltage is increased to a certain point, the electric field will become so great that it will tear apart the covalent bonds in the semiconductor material, allowing electrons and holes to flow freely. This gives rise to the Zener-breakdown behaviour.

The reverse current of the diode is also very low, which eliminates the need for additional components in the circuit in order to prevent reverse conduction. This is beneficial in maintaining the stability and reliability of the circuit. Since the current flowing through the diode is limited to only one direction, the circuit can be powered by a range of voltage supply sources and the Zener breakdown behaviour allows for precise voltage regulation.

The SMBJ5924BE3/TR13 is an ideal Zener diode for many different applications due to its exceptional performance. This makes it an excellent choice for those who need a reliable voltage regulator in their circuit.
