Diodes - Zener - Single : SZBZX84C5V1ET3G application field and working principle

The SZBZX84C5V1ET3G diode, known as \'Zener diode\', is frequently used in a wide range of applications and is becoming increasingly popular due to its low-cost and low-voltage capabilities. This diode is ideal for use in adjustable voltage regulation, switching circuits, DC power supplies, and many other applications.

A Zener diode is similar to a canonical diode. However, the Zener has an added advantage of having a high reverse breakdown voltage. This allows it to break down when the reverse bias reaches a certain value, which is usually specified for every device. When this value is reached, the diode will conduct in the reverse direction effectively bypassing the current. As a result, a constant voltage is created on the cathode side that is regulated by the diode.

The SZBZX84C5V1ET3G diode is a 5V Zener type, meaning that the working principle is the same as the previously mentioned, but the breakdown voltage is 5 Volts. When the reverse voltage exceeds 5 Volts, the diode will conduct and set the voltage across the anode and cathode to 5V. It is important to note that the Zener has no current gain, meaning that the current will not change upon breakdown. Furthermore, the Zener should always be used in the reverse bias, as the forward bias characteristics of the device are rather poor.

Due to this diode\'s low-voltage and low-cost characteristics, it can be used in a wide range of applications. The SZBZX84C5V1ET3G diode can be used in direct current (DC) power supplies to convert alternating current (AC) voltage to DC voltage. The Zener gives the ability to set the voltage of the power supply output, allowing for a stable and precise current. Further, it can also be used in switching circuits, as the Zener can control the voltage over the circuit, while the current is controlled by another component like a transistor or an optoisolator. Finally, this diode is also often used to protect sensitive electronics, like a laptop or a phone. Since the diode will breakdown when the voltage reaches 5 Volts and the current will not increase significantly, the diode will absorb the additional voltage.

In conclusion, the SZBZX84C5V1ET3G Zener diode is a low-voltage, low-cost part that is frequently used in different applications. It can be used in adjustable voltage regulation or DC power supplies to convert AC voltage, in switching circuits to regulate the voltage, and in voltage protection circuits. As long as the proper specifications are taken into account, the diode is an indispensable part for many applications.
