SZBZX84C13LT3G

The SZBZX84C13LT3G is a Zener diode made by ZETEX, commonly used in applications requiring high-precision voltage regulation and current flow control. It is a single diode, meaning it has only one electron-hole junction.

The SZBZX84C13LT3G has a volt-ampere rating of 9.1 volts at 900 milliamps and its maximum operating temperature is 150°C. It features a low leakage current of 1.0 μA, meaning it can be used in applications requiring high reliability.

The SZBZX84C13LT3G is most often used in circuits requiring precision control of power supply voltage levels. It can be used as a flyback diode, a current-limiting diode, a voltage-regulating diode, and a virtually lossless current-blocker in AC and DC circuits.

The primary application field of the SZBZX84C13LT3G is in digital circuits, such as microprocessors and logic systems. In these circuits, the diode can be used to protect against voltage spikes and to ensure a stable power supply. It can also be used to ensure that the power supply remains constant, regardless of changes in load.

The SZBZX84C13LT3G works by using its negative-temperature coefficient to identify when the zener voltage is exceeded and react accordingly. It will then drop or clamp the voltage so that it does not exceed the zener voltage. This behavior is referred to as “zener breakdown”. The diode also offers protection against reverse breakdown, which occurs when the applied voltage is reversed.

In summary, the SZBZX84C13LT3G is a Zener diode used in applications requiring high-precision voltage regulation and current flow control. It has a volt-ampere rating of 9.1 volts at 900 milliamps and its maximum operating temperature is 150°C. It is most often used in digital circuits, such as microprocessors and logic systems, and it works by using its negative-temperature coefficient to identify when the zener voltage is exceeded and react accordingly.
