The 1M160ZHR0G diode is a single Zener diode offering a breakdown voltage of 16 volts. Its main application is for voltage regulation or for generating a specified voltage level of output. Commonly used in low power circuits, the 1M160ZHR0G offers superior performance with low forward voltage drop and reverse leakage currents.

The main function of a Zener diode is to provide a voltage reference in a circuit. When the voltage applied to the anode is higher than the Zener breakdown voltage, an avalanche breakdown occurs and the Zener voltage is clamped at a maximum. This regulates any rise in voltage to maintain the output of the circuit at a specified level. In the case of the 1M160ZHR0G, this will be 16 volts.

The 1M160ZHR0G has a maximum power rating of 200 mW at an ambient temperature of 25°C, and a maximum reverse voltage of 30 volts. It has two terminals, the cathode and the anode, the anode being the positive and the cathode being the negative terminal. A forward current of 50 mA is needed to provide 16 volts at the output. Operating temperature can range from -30°C to +90°C.

The working principle of the 1M160ZHR0G is based on Reverse-biased Mode. In this mode, voltage is applied to the anode and the device will act as a resistor before the voltage reaches the breakdown voltage. Once the breakdown voltage is reached, a nice Zener breakdown occurs and the Zener voltage is clamped. The reverse current flowing through the diode is now called the knee or Zener current. This current is kept constant, from the breakdown point onwards.

In addition to the protection offered by dissipating excess voltage, the 1M160ZHR0G diode also has a characteristic that is ideal for use in voltage regulator circuits. This is referred to as thermal stability and is defined as the ability of a Zener diode to maintain its regulated voltage over a wide range of temperature changes. In other words, the 1M160ZHR0G can help to maintain a stream of output voltage without being affected by temperature fluctuations.

As with any diode, the 1M160ZHR0G can be used as a part of a full-wave or half-wave rectifier to transform an AC waveform into a DC waveform. In a half-wave circuit, it can be used to regulate current. In a full-wave configuration, it can be used to change the voltage level, as needed. When two 1M160ZHR0Gs are used in series, and the voltage is applied across them, the output voltage will be twice the breakdown voltage and a variable resistor can be used to adjust the output voltage as required.

In addition to its voltage regulation capabilities, the 1M160ZHR0G can be used as a temperature indicator or acquired for use in temperature sensing devices. As the temperature increases, the ability of the diode to conduct current will decrease, making it useful for monitoring temperature changes. In addition, its low reverse leakage and small physical size makes the 1M160ZHR0G ideal for applications requiring accurate performance at small detectable levels of current or voltage.

The 1M160ZHR0G diode is a highly reliable and efficient component with a low forward drop and excellent temperature stability, ideal for precision voltage regulating and temperature sensing applications. With a breakdown voltage of 16 volts, it can be used in applications that require the output voltage to remain constant regardless of input fluctuations.
