Frequently asked questions
What is the price of Zener Diode BZX79-C5V6 5.6 V 500 mW (DO-35) in Egypt?

How do I use the BZX79-C5V6 as a voltage reference?
Connect it in reverse bias through a series resistor from the supply. Size the resistor as R = (Vin − 5.6 V) / Iz, and keep the Zener current in the range given in the datasheet. Its voltage varies a little with current, so it is best used at a steady current.
Can I use it to protect a 3.3 V or 5 V input?
A 5.6 V Zener is too high to protect a 3.3 V input and only marginal for 5 V logic, since the clamp voltage is above the normal level. For 3.3 V inputs choose a lower-voltage Zener, and for 5 V circuits check whether the clamp is acceptable for your device's absolute maximum rating.
