SMBJ5955C/TR13

The SMBJ5955C/TR13 is a small signal surface mount Diode-Zener from the Diode-Zener Single Family. It is a type of Zener Diode, a semiconductor device which allows current to flow in either direction but resists current in one direction. It is usually fabricated from a single element semiconductor that has been heavily p-doped. The feature of this particular SMBJ5955C/TR13 is its unique reverse breakdown voltage of 13V, making it suitable for use in a variety of different electronics applications.

As with other types of diode, the main purpose of a zener diode is to regulate the voltage across its terminals. When the reverse voltage exceeds the zener voltage, the diode breaks down, allowing current to flow in the opposite direction. This current, however, is limited by the Zener impedance. The reverse breakdown voltage is determined by the structure and doping of the diode and is typically set at manufactured levels to suit various application. The SMBJ5955C/TR13 has a reverse breakdown voltage of 13V, which makes it suitable for many different applications.

The SMBJ5955C/TR13 is a low voltage device that can be used for limiting and clamping of applying voltages in various applications. It can be used for overvoltage protection in personal computers, communications systems and other low voltage applications. It is popular for use as a voltage regulator when used in conjunction with resistors, capacitors and inductors. The SMBJ5955C/TR13 can also be used in voltage switching and level shifting applications.

The working principle of the SMBJ5955C/TR13 is quite simple. It works by utilizing the avalanche effect, which occurs when the potential of a reverse biasing junction exceeds its breakdown voltage. When this happens, a large amount of current is injected into the semiconductor junction and a voltage drop occurs across the junction. The voltage drop can be controlled by adjusting the zener or avalanche current, and the zener or avalanche impedance. The zener impedance affects the voltage drop across the diode, while the avalanche current affects the current through the diode.

The SMBJ5955C/TR13 is available in various packages and with various reverse breakdown levels. It is a low-power Zener diode which has a high reliability and works in extreme temperatures. Furthermore, its reverse leakage current is low, making it highly efficient and reliable in circuit design.

In conclusion, the SMBJ5955C/TR13 is a useful and reliable Zener Diode-Single device with a unique and reverse breakdown voltage of 13V. It is suitable for use in a variety of different circuits and applications, as it can provide excellent overvoltage protection and efficient level shifting or switching. Since it is a low-power device, it is also highly reliable and efficient. As such, the SMBJ5955C/TR13 is an ideal choice when creating a circuit or device with reliable performance.
