SZMMSZ36T1G Diodes - Zener - Single Application Field and Working Principle

The SZMMSZ36T1G is one of the most popular Zener diodes available in the market today. It is a single-terminal semiconductor device, ideal for use in low-voltage, low-current applications. With its low power consumption, it is ideal for applications where energy saving is important.

Basic characteristics

The SZMMSZ36T1G is a low-power diode, with a maximum reverse voltage rating of 36V, and a forward voltage of 0.2V. It also has a reverse-recovery time of 0.06us and a small capacitance of 0.6pF. Its maximum average reverse current is 5µA, and it can handle a maximum surge current of up to 250mA.

Applications

The SZMMSZ36T1G Zener diode is mainly used in low-voltage, low-current applications since it consumes very little power. Its high-surge current rating and low capacitance makes it ideal for voltage regulation circuits, overvoltage protection circuits, clamping circuits, and other similar designs. Furthermore, it can also be used for switching applications in power supplies and battery-powered devices.

Working principle

The SZMMSZ36T1G works in the same way as a regular Zener diode. When a small forward voltage is applied, the diode is said to be "forward biased" and acts as an ordinary semiconductor. However, when a reverse voltage is applied, the diode is said to be "reverse biased" and it begins to conduct current. This current creates an electric field within the diode, where a "Zener breakdown" occurs and voltage regulation is achieved. The diode will then consistently maintain a constant voltage regardless of the changes in the forward voltage or the reverse current through the device.

Furthermore, since the SZMMSZ36T1G has a low capacitance, it can also be used in applications that require fast switching times and high current handling capabilities. The Zener voltage can also be trimmed by changing the applied forward voltage.

Conclusion

The SZMMSZ36T1G is an ideal diode for low-voltage and low-current applications due to its low power consumption, its high surge current rating, and its low capacitance. Additionally, its Zener voltage can be adjusted by changing the applied forward voltage. This makes it a great choice for voltage regulation, overvoltage protection, and other circuits that require a Zener diode.
