Diodes - Zener - Single

The 2EZ180D5DO41E3 is a Zener diode single with a very low forward voltage drop of 0.25 V. This type of diode is designed for use in applications that require a low power loss when the diode is conducting. It is also able to provide fast response times due to its relatively low capacitance, making it an ideal choice for use in high-frequency circuits.

The 2EZ180D5DO41E3 can be used to construct a voltage regulator circuit. This circuit relies on the properties of the Zener diode to maintain a steady voltage output regardless of changes in input voltage level. The Zener diode is connected to a series of resistors, which form a voltage divider. The resistor closest to the Zener diode is either made adjustable or fixed, depending on the desired voltage output. When an input voltage is applied, it passes through these series of resistors, and the Zener diode allows current to flow through it only when the input voltage is higher than the designated voltage level.

This flow of current causes a voltage drop proportional to the Zener diode\'s breakdown voltage. Since this voltage is constant regardless of the input voltage, it effectively regulates the output voltage. The advantage of using this type of circuit is that it provides stable voltage over a wide range of input voltages. This makes it ideal for applications requiring reliable and consistent output power.

The 2EZ180D5DO41E3 diode is also frequently used in voltage limiting circuits. Here, the Zener diode is connected in reverse so that it only conducts when the input voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage. This is used to protect other components from being subjected to high voltages. By limiting the voltage to the maximum allowable, the risk of damage to the other components is minimized. This makes it a useful addition to any circuit that needs to withstand voltage spikes or transients.
