1EZ180D5/TR8

Diodes - Zener - Single

1EZ180D5/TR8 is a single zener diode device, which is widely used in several applications. This device is small in size and it is made up of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). It is manufactured by Texas Instruments and designed for use in low voltage and medium current applications.

The main function of the 1EZ180D5/TR8 diode is to regulate the output of a device to a certain voltage level, in order to provide protection against system failures or high voltage fluctuations. In addition, the device helps to reduce noise and interference from other circuits, thereby improving the operation of a system. The device is suitable for use in consumer applications such as personal computers, televisions, gaming consoles, portable audio players, and portable satellite receivers. It is ideal for use in automotive applications. Its surge rating is 110mA, which makes it very suitable for high current applications.

Working Principle

The 1EZ180D5/TR8 device operates using the same basic principle as traditional zener diodes. When a current is applied to the anode and cathode of the diode, electrons are allowed to flow either in one direction or the other, which results in a forward or reversed voltage respectively. If the voltage level is too high, the diode acts as a reverse-biased diode, meaning that the current flow through it is limited. This phenomenon is called the breakdown voltage and the current level at which the diode breaks down is its breakdown current.

Applications

The 1EZ180D5/TR8 device is used in various applications. It is commonly used in automotive applications as a damper to protect the system from high voltage surges. It can also be used in computers, televisions, and gaming consoles for voltage regulation purposes. It is also widely used in consumer electronics such as portable audio players, portable satellite receivers, and digital cameras. Additionally, the device is used in medical equipment, automotive diagnostic systems, and other home appliances.

The 1EZ180D5/TR8 device is an important component in most types of applications, due to its capability to provide precise voltage regulation and protection against system damage. It is a reliable and cost-effective solution that can be used in many different applications. With its low power consumption and long life, it is an ideal choice for use in most types of electronic systems.
