Suited to clamp circuits against destructive voltage transients, this diode is well-suited for use in Automotive, Medical and Telecommunications applications.

Application Field

The 2EZ180D5E3/TR12 is ideal for demanding applications such as Automotive, Medical and Telecommunications systems, thanks to its low capacitance of 5pF and low reverse leak current of 5uA. With its ability to provide reverse voltage protection and stability to circuits, it can be well suited to use in automotive applications such as on-board electronic systems and engine control units, or in Medical devices such as implantable or external medical devices, or in telecommunications such as power amplifiers and telecom systems.

Working Principle

The 2EZ180D5E3/TR12 works by allowing current to flow in both directions across it during normal operation. When the voltage across it exceeds its rated voltage, the diode will then start to conduct in reverse, allowing current to flow in the reverse direction and limiting the voltage across it. This will protect the circuits from potential high voltage spikes and maintain their stability. As the temperature rises, the forward voltage drop of the diode will reduce, allowing it to better protect the circuits against high voltage transients while operating at the high temperatures.

Conclusion

The 2EZ180D5E3/TR12 is a low capacitance, low reverse leak current, Zener diode, designed to provide reverse voltage protection and stabilizing circuits in automotive, medical and telecommunication applications. This device can protect circuits against destructive voltage transients and maintain their stability even when operating at high temperatures.
