Working Principle

The TZX5V6D-TR is a Zener diode that functions by allowing the passage of current in the forward direction when the applied voltage is less than the Zener voltage. However, when the reverse voltage applied is greater than the Zener voltage, it allows current to flow in the reverse direction. This is known as the Zener breakdown effect. As the reverse voltage reaches a certain level, known as the “Zener knee”, the diode starts to conduct the reverse current and the voltage across the diode remains constant.

The Zener breakdown voltage of the TZX5V6D-TR is 5.6V, which means that the diode will start to conduct in the reverse direction once the applied reverse voltage reaches that level. The diode is designed to have a certain voltage drop across it when it is in the conducting mode, known as the “Zener voltage”. This Zener voltage will be constant regardless of the amount of current flowing through the diode.

The TZX5V6D-TR can also be used in applications that require voltage regulation, such as power supplies and voltage regulators. In these applications, the Zener diode is connected in a series with a resistor and a capacitor to form a voltage regulator. The diode acts as a voltage reference, controlling the voltage level of the output. The resistor and capacitor form a low-pass filter, which reduces the amount of ripple or AC noise present in the output voltage.

The TZX5V6D-TR is a versatile Zener diode, with applications in both reverse and forward bias circuits. It is a reliable and cost effective choice for a wide range of applications and is designed for demanding electronic environments.
