2EZ14D/TR12 Application Field and Working Principle

2EZ14D/TR12 is a type of single Zener diode, which is a unidirectional electronic component that allows electric current to pass in the forward direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. It is ideal for use in protecting sensitive electrical components from voltage spikes, regulating power input of electric circuits, and other similar applications.

Zener diodes are commonly used in voltage regulation. As the voltage applied across the diode increases, the forward voltage drop also increases. When a certain voltage is reached, known as the Zener voltage or breakdown voltage, the diode enters a region of negative differential resistance. This is the breakdown region and it allows the diode to transfer a portion of the applied voltage to the reverse direction, which converts the voltage spikes into regulated voltage.

The 2EZ14D/TR12 has a Zener voltage rating of 14 volts and a power rating of 1 watt. It also has a peak reverse voltage of 14 volts, and a maximum reverse current of 100mA. The thermal resistance is 75 degrees Celsius per Watt, with a maximum operating temperature of 175 degrees Celsius.

In terms of features, this single Zener diode has low noise, low voltage and temperature coefficients, low capacitance and a low forward voltage drop. It also has excellent surge tolerance and a high power rating for improved reliability. In addition, it is also RoHS compliant, meaning that it is free from hazardous substances.

In terms of applications, the 2EZ14D/TR12 can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as power management, voltage regulation, overvoltage protection in consumer electronics, switching of analog and digital signals, and DC/DC converters. Moreover, it is particularly well-suited for use in negative voltage regulation circuits.

To conclude, the 2EZ14D/TR12 is a single Zener diode that features low noise, low voltage, and temperature coefficients as well as a low forward voltage drop. It is ideal for use in a number of applications, such as power management, voltage regulation, overvoltage protection, switching, DC/DC converters, and negative voltage regulation.
