13、 TESTING Introduction The diodes described in this document are used as voltage regulator diodes and voltage references. These devices maintain a near-constant voltage by operating in the breakdown region, where large changes in current result in relatively small fluctuations in voltage. Voltage reg

14、ulator diodes are similar to Avalanche Breakdown Diode (ABD) Transient Voltage Suppressors, except that they are designed for continuous voltage regulation, rather than for short-duration overvoltage protection. They are also typically unidirectional. They may be in a single p-n junction package wit

Other configurations beyond two-terminals may also exist depending on package and overall configuration such as with multiple p-n junctions for diode arrays. JEDEC Standard No. 211 Page 1 ZENER AN

17、tage references. It describes terms and definitions and explains methods for verifying device ratings and measuring device characteristics. Voltage regulator diodes are sometimes used as transient voltage suppressors, but are not characterized for their clamping ability or peak pulse power rating. T

18、erms and tests related to transient voltage suppression will not be covered in this document, but are discussed in the JEDEC document JESD210 on Avalanche Breakdown Diode (ABD) Transient Voltage Suppressors. 2 Terms and definitions These may use terms similar to avalanche breakdown diodes, but have

19、variations unique to Zener and voltage-regulator diodes. 2.1 Basic concepts 2.1.1 voltage-regulator diode: A semiconductor diode with a single p-n junction (or with multiple p-n junctions, none of which interact) that is normally biased in the breakdown region of its voltage-current characteristics

20、and limits variation in voltage across its terminals over a specified current range. NOTE 1 The breakdown region may be due to either avalanche breakdown or Zener breakdown phenomenon (also often known as tunneling or field-emission breakdown). NOTE 2 When forward-biased, voltage-regulator diodes ha

21、ve voltage-current characteristics similar to rectifier diodes. NOTE 3 In general usage, voltage-regulator diodes are often referred to as Zener diodes, even if their breakdown characteristics are due to avalanche breakdown. Voltage-regulator diodes are also referred to as voltage-reference diodes w

22、hen their application is to maintain a reference voltage within a specified accuracy over a specified current and temperature range in the breakdown region of its voltage-current characteristics.

This series combination may also involve more than one Zener p-n junction within the temperature-compensated voltage-reference diode, particularly for higher voltages. 2.1.4 nonconducting region: The portion of the voltage-current characteristic of a reverse-biased p-n junction that exhibits a

28、 high resistance to the passage of current. 2.1.5 breakdown region: The portion of the voltage-current characteristic beyond the initiation of breakdown where the current increases rapidly for any additional increase in reverse voltage. NOTE In this region the voltage remains essentially constant fo
