Single Zener diodes are discrete semiconductor devices designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region, maintaining a stable voltage across a wide range of currents. Based on the Zener effect and avalanche breakdown mechanisms, these components are critical for voltage regulation, reference, and protection circuits. They serve as foundational elements in power supplies, analog circuits, and precision measurement systems, ensuring reliability in electronics ranging from consumer devices to industrial equipment.
| Type | Functional Characteristics | Application Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Low-Voltage Zener (2.4V-10V) | Utilizes Zener effect with sharp breakdown characteristics | Voltage references, comparator circuits |
| Mid-Voltage Zener (10V-100V) | Combines Zener and avalanche breakdown | Power supply regulation, clamping circuits |
| High-Voltage Zener (>100V) | Primarily avalanche breakdown mechanism | High-voltage protection, industrial controls |
| Surface-Mount (SMD) Zener | Miniaturized packaging for automated assembly | Mobile devices, wearable electronics |
Single Zener diodes consist of a heavily doped PN junction semiconductor structure, typically fabricated from silicon. The cathode terminal is marked with a band, while the anode connects to the P-type material. Advanced devices employ passivation layers (e.g., silicon dioxide) to improve stability and reliability. Common packaging includes axial leaded (DO-35, DO-41) and surface-mount (SOD-123, SOT-23) formats with glass or plastic encapsulation for environmental protection.
| Parameter | Description | Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Zener Voltage (Vz) | Specified reverse breakdown voltage at test current | Determines operating voltage level |
| Power Dissipation (Pz) | Maximum power handling capability | Defines thermal management requirements |
| Dynamic Impedance (Zz) | AC resistance affecting voltage stability | Impacts regulation performance |
| Temperature Coefficient (TC) | Voltage drift per degree Celsius | Critical for precision applications |
| Reverse Leakage Current (Ir) | Off-state current at rated voltage | Affects power efficiency |
Key industries include:
Example: The TL431 programmable Zener diode is widely used in SMPS feedback loops to achieve 1% voltage accuracy.
