BZX55C15-TR Discrete Semiconductor Products

A BZX55C15-TR is a single high power Zener diode designed for use at frequencies up to 1 GHz and above. This diode can be used in high voltage applications to regulate the voltage, protect against overloads, and to provide frequency control in simple circuits.

The Zener diode has a PN junction with a potential difference between the two sides. When the diode is connected to a circuit, current flows freely between the two junctions, creating a voltage drop across the junction. This voltage drop is referred to as the “Zener voltage”.

When the voltage across the diode exceeds the Zener voltage, the current flow is restricted due to the circuit\'s impedance. This reduction in current flow is a result of the diode\'s junction being reverse-biased. The Zener diode thus acts as a voltage regulator by maintaining a constant voltage across the diode\'s junction, regardless of the circuit\'s input voltage or current.

The BZX55C15-TR is designed for use at high frequencies, up to 1 GHz and above. This diode has a 15-volt Zener voltage breakdown, making it suitable for use in high power applications. The diode is also able to handle high power up to 1.2 mW, with low reverse leakage current.

The BZX55C15-TR is perfect for applications such as over-voltage protection, voltage regulation and frequency control. It can be used in power supplies, amplifiers, and radio frequency (RF) circuits, making it an excellent choice for use in all kinds of high-power applications.

In summary, the BZX55C15-TR is a high frequency Zener diode designed for use in high power applications. Its 15-volt Zener voltage breakdown, high power handling capability, and low reverse leakage make it an ideal choice for applications such as voltage regulation, over-voltage protection and frequency control.
