About this component

Generic two-pin Zener diode with editable reverse breakdown voltage.

Parameters

Advanced
4 parameters
ParameterNameDescriptionDefault

V_BREAKDOWN

Breakdown voltage

The V<sub>KA</sub> voltage at which the device begins to conduct in reverse breakdown.

5 V

I_BREAKDOWN

Breakdown current

The current from the cathode to the anode terminal at the breakdown voltage.

20m A

I_SAT

Saturation current

Current flow resulting from the diffusion of minority carriers. Strongly affects the current in the forward region but has negligible effect in the breakdown region.

1p A

N_FORWARD

Forward emission coefficient

Also known as ideality factor. Affects the exponential of the forward diffusion current. Affects the IV curve when forward biased (V<sub>KA</sub><0).
