2 Temperature Coefficient specifies the percent change in zener voltage for each degree Celsius change in temperature example, a 12 V zener diode with a positive temperature coefficient (+0.01%/ 0 c) of will exhibit a 1.2 mv increase in V Z when the junction temperature increases one degree Celsius. V Z is the nominal zener voltage at the reference temperature of 25 0 C 3 A positive TC means that the zener voltage increases with an increase in temperature or decreases with a decrease in temperature. A negative TC means that the zener voltage decreases with an increase in temperature or increases with a decrease in temperature 4

3 In some cases, the temperature coefficient is expressed in V/ 0 C rather than as %V/ 0 C For these cases, ΔVZ is calculated as mv/ C 5 Example 02 6

4 Example 02 Solution 7 Zener Power Dissipation Zener diodes are specified to operate at a maximum power called the maximum dc power dissipation, PD(max). 1N746 zener is rated at a PD(max) of 500 mw and 1N3305A is rated at a PD(max) of 50 W. 8

5 Power Derating The maximum power dissipation of a zener diode is typically specified for temperatures at or below a certain value ( for example). Above the specified temperature, the maximum power dissipation is reduced according to a derating factor. The derating factor is expressed in mw/ 0 C 9 Example 03 10

10 Example Zener Diode Applications Zener diode regulators can provide a reasonably constant dc level at the output, but they are not particularly efficient. For this reason, they are limited to applications that require only low current to the load. 20

11 as V IN changes, I Z will change proportionally so that the limitations on the input voltage variation are set by the minimum and maximum current values (I ZK and I ZM ) with which the zener can operate. ideal model of the 1N4740A zener diode I ZK = 0.25 mamp (no load current) Maximum current I ZM 21 22

12 Example 01 Determine the minimum and the maximum input voltages that can be regulated by the zener diode in Figure for the 1N4733A: V Z 5.1 V 23 Example 05 for the 1N4733A: V Z 5.1 V 24

13 Example 25 Example 26

14 No load and Full load The zener diode maintains a nearly constant voltage across R L as long as the zener current is greater than I ZK and less than I ZM. 27 In no load, RL = inf, all current go through zener diode With when RL is connected, current is divided between load and zener diode, while load voltage still constant because of zener regulating action. 28

18 Voltage regulators To achieve better regulation and provide for greater variations in load current, the zener diode is combined as a key element with other circuit components to create a 3 terminal linear voltage regulator 35 Zener diode inside 7805 regulator 36 Dr. Ahmed ElShafee, ACU : Fall 2018, Electronic Circuits I

19 Zener Limiter zener diodes can be used in ac applications to limit voltage swings to desired levels

21 Optical diodes The Light Emitting Diode (LED) The difference in energy between the electrons and the holes corresponds to the energy of visible light. When recombination takes place, the recombining electrons release energy in the form of photons. 41 emitted light tends to be monochromatic (one color) that depends on the band gap (and other factors) (Various impurities are added during the doping process to establish the wavelength of the emitted light). A large exposed surface area on one layer of the semiconductive material permits the photons to be emitted as visible light 42

22 LED Semiconductor Materials IR : gallium arsenide (GaAs) Visible (orange pal green) : gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) Visible (red, green, yellow) : gallium aluminum arsenide phosphide (GaAlAsP). Blue : silicon carbide (SiC) Ultra blue : gallium nitride (GaN) 43 LED Biasing the maximum VF for LEDs is between 1.2 V and 3.2 V, depending on the material. Reverse breakdown for an LED is much less than for a silicon rectifier diode (3 V to 10 V is typical). 44

23 The amount of power output translated into light is directly proportional to the forward current, and temperature 45 Light Emission An LED emits light over a specified range of wavelengths as indicated by the spectral output curves 46

24 radiation patterns for small LEDs LEDs are directional light sources (unlike filament or fluorescent bulbs). The radiation pattern is generally perpendicular to the emitting surface; 47 bright LEDs are becoming popular for lighting because of their superior efficiency and long life 48

25 Optical diodes applications Standard LEDs are used for indicator lamps and readout displays on a wide variety of instruments, A common type of display device using LEDs is the sevensegment display. 49 common application of an infrared LED is in remote control units for TV, DVD, gate openers, etc. The IR LED sends out a beam of invisible light that is sensed by the receiver in your TV, for example. 50

26 For each button on the remote control unit, there is a unique code. When a specific button is pressed, a coded electrical signal is generated that goes to the LED, which converts the electrical signal to a coded infrared light signal. The TV receiver recognizes the code and takes appropriate action, such as changing the channel or increasing the volume 51 High Intensity LEDs LEDs that produce much greater light outputs than standard LEDs are found in many applications including traffic lights, automotive lighting, indoor and outdoor advertising and informational signs, and home lighting. 52

27 LEDs in an array are usually connected either in a seriesparallel or a parallel arrangement. A series connection is not practical because if one LED fails open, then all the LEDs are disabled. For a parallel connection, each LED requires a limiting resistor. To reduce the number of limiting resistors, a series parallel connection can be used, 53 Example 05 An array of green leds (20 ma, 2.5 Volt). Design a 12 volt to minimize the number of limiting resistors of 60 leds 54

28 Volt of 3 leds in 20 ma V = 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 Volts Shunt resistor volt = = 4.5 Volts Rlimit = 4.5/20 ma = 225 ohm 55 LED Displays LEDs are widely used in large and small signs and message boards for both indoor and outdoor uses, including large screen television. Full color screens use a tiny grouping of high intensity red, green, and blue LEDs to form a pixel Red, green, and blue (RGB) are primary colors and when mixed together in varying amounts, can be used to produce any color in the visible spectrum 56

29 The light emission from each of the three diodes can be varied independently by varying the amount of forward current. Yellow is added to the three primary colors (RGBY) in some TV screen applications

30 The Organic LED (OLED) An OLED is a device that consists of two or three layers of materials composed of organic molecules or polymers that emit light with the application of voltage. The color of the light depends on the type of organic molecule in the emissive layer. 59 The Photodiode The photodiode is a device that operates in reverse bias, as shown I ʎ where is the reverse light current. The photodiode has a small transparent window that allows light to strike the pn junction. 60

31 A photodiode differs from a rectifier diode in that when its pn junction is exposed to light, the reverse current increases with the light intensity. When there is no incident light, the reverse current I ʎ, is almost negligible and is called the dark current An increase in the amount of light intensity, expressed as irradiance (mw/cm2), produces an increase in the reverse current 61 62
