Working Principle

The SML4761A-E3/61 consists of two junctions. The first junction is the Zener diode, which acts as a voltage regulator. The second junction is a diode that provides the avalanche breakdown to the Zener diode. When the device is connected to a power source and the forward voltage exceeds the avalanche breakdown voltage of the second junction, the Zener diode starts to conduct current. This current then passes through the device, causing the voltage at the other end of the device to be lower than the power source voltage.

The amount of current flowing through the device depends on the resistance of the Zener diode. To make sure that this resistance is maintained, the voltage over the Zener diode is adjusted to keep the current constant. This is done by using a control circuit, which automatically adjusts the voltage of the Zener diode to maintain the desired current in the circuit.
