2EZ15D5E3/TR8 Application Field & Working Principle

A single diode Zener is one of the simplest types of voltage-regulating components available. The 2EZ15D5E3/TR8 is a single diode Zener device that can be used for voltage regulation applications, as it is designed to regulate a voltage level regardless of changes in the input voltage. In this article, we will explore the application field and working principle of the 2EZ15D5E3/TR8.

Application Field

The 2EZ15D5E3/TR8 is designed to be used in voltage regulating applications. It can be used in applications such as oscillators for precision timing and control, LED indicator systems, and voltage regulators. In addition, the device can also be used in any application requiring a fixed and/or regulated voltage supply.

The device has a maximum rating of 55 volts and a power dissipation of 500 mW. It has an operating temperature range of −55°C to +125°C and a thermal resistance of 190°C/W. The device has a maximum forward voltage of 0.7V and a zener voltage range of 11.7V to 14.7V.

Working Principle

The 2EZ15D5E3/TR8 utilizes the Zener effect to regulate the voltage level. The Zener effect works by creating a barrier between the device’s anode and cathode. As the voltage across the device increases, the device’s current begins to flow. This current flow then causes electrons to be displaced within the barrier and creates a potential difference that acts as a clamp on the output voltage.

The 2EZ15D5E3/TR8 also utilizes an avalanche breakdown. This is a process whereby electrons in the barrier have enough energy to break through the barrier, creating a large current flow across the device. This causes the voltage level to drop, thus clamping the voltage level at the Zener voltage.

The 2EZ15D5E3/TR8 is a unique device in that it also has a reverse breakdown voltage. This is a property that increases the device’s protection against inverse voltages. The device’s reverse breakdown voltage helps prevent the device from damage due to exposure to high voltages.

Conclusion

The 2EZ15D5E3/TR8 is a single diode Zener that can be used for voltage regulation applications. Its maximum rating is 55 volts and it has a power dissipation of 500 mW. The device utilizes the Zener effect and an avalanche breakdown to regulate the voltage level and has a reverse breakdown voltage for enhanced protection against inverse voltages. This makes the 2EZ15D5E3/TR8 an ideal component for a variety of applications requiring a fixed and/or regulated supply voltage.
