Key Characteristics of Voltage Regulator Diodes

 

Reverse Breakdown Characteristics

Under the action of reverse voltage, voltage regulator diodes experience reverse breakdown phenomenon when the voltage reaches a critical value (referred to as reverse breakdown voltage Vz). At this point, although the reverse current increases sharply, the reverse voltage remains almost constant, allowing the voltage regulator diode to stabilize the voltage in the circuit.

 

Regulated Value Vz

The regulated value is the approximate constant voltage that the voltage regulator diode can maintain during reverse breakdown. This value is calibrated by the manufacturer and is generally accurate. The regulated value Vz is an important parameter of the voltage regulator diode and a primary basis for selecting voltage regulator diodes.

 

Dynamic Resistance Rz

Dynamic resistance Rz represents the ratio of voltage change between the two ends of the voltage regulator diode to the current change. It reflects the quality of the voltage regulator diode's voltage stabilization performance. The smaller the Rz, the better the voltage stabilization performance.

 

Power Dissipation Pz

Power dissipation Pz is the maximum power that the voltage regulator diode can withstand during reverse breakdown. Power dissipation Pz is determined by the stable voltage Vz and the maximum allowable current Izm passing through the voltage regulator diode. When exceeding the Pz value, the voltage regulator diode may overheat and fail.

 

Temperature Coefficient α

Temperature coefficient α indicates the degree of change in stable voltage Vz of the voltage regulator diode with temperature variation. The temperature coefficient α can be positive or negative. A positive temperature coefficient voltage regulator diode increases the stable voltage Vz value as the temperature rises, while a negative temperature coefficient voltage regulator diode decreases the stable voltage Vz value as the temperature rises. For general voltage regulator diodes, the temperature coefficient α is a positive value, but its temperature effect can be counteracted by appropriate circuit connections.

 

Reverse Leakage Current Iz

Reverse leakage current Iz refers to the current flowing through the voltage regulator diode under a specified reverse voltage. This value is usually small, but for some high-sensitivity circuits, reverse leakage current may affect circuit performance.

 

Response Time

Response time refers to the time it takes for the voltage regulator diode to stabilize voltage from reverse breakdown. This time is crucial for circuits that require rapid response.

 

Package Form

Voltage regulator diodes are available in various package forms, including plastic encapsulation, glass encapsulation, metal encapsulation, etc. Different package forms of voltage regulator diodes may have performance differences, requiring selection based on specific application scenarios.
