Ⅳ.Why is a voltage regulator diode required to be reverse-biased in a circuit?

There are several reasons why a voltage regulator diode needs to be connected in reverse bias in a circuit, which can be summarized as follows:

Utilization of reverse breakdown characteristics:

The core working principle of a voltage regulator diode is based on the reverse breakdown state of the PN junction. When the reverse voltage is lower than the reverse breakdown voltage, the reverse resistance is high, and the reverse leakage current is minimal. However, when the reverse voltage increases to near the critical value of the reverse breakdown voltage, the reverse current abruptly increases, leading to PN junction breakdown.

At this breakdown point, the reverse resistance decreases to a very small value. Although the current can vary over a wide range, the voltage across the diode remains stable near the breakdown voltage, achieving the voltage regulation function.

Prevention of forward conduction:

The forward conduction voltage of a voltage regulator diode (i.e., the forward voltage at which the diode begins to conduct) is much lower than its reverse breakdown voltage. If the voltage regulator diode is forward-biased in the circuit, it will start conducting at a lower voltage, which is contrary to the design intent and voltage regulation requirements of the diode.

Enhancement of circuit stability:

By reverse-biasing the voltage regulator diode, it ensures that the diode can regulate the voltage and keep the voltage across the load relatively unchanged when the power supply voltage fluctuates. This improves the stability and reliability of the circuit.

Specific parameter support:

Taking the 1SMA4736A or a similar voltage regulator diode as an example, its regulated value (nominal value) is 6.8V, with a regulated range between 6.46V and 7.18V. When the reverse voltage increases within this range, the voltage regulator diode starts operating, providing a stable voltage output.

Additionally, these voltage regulator diodes typically have high power ratings (e.g., 1W) and low impedance (e.g., 3.5Ω), allowing them to withstand high currents and voltages, providing sustained voltage support for the circuit.
