About this component
Generic two-pin Zener diode with editable reverse breakdown voltage.
Parameters
Advanced
4 parameters
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).
