Application Field

The most common application for the 2EZ20D10E3/TR8 Zener diode is as a well-regulated power source for small digital circuits and discrete devices. This diode also offers voltage protection in regulated and un-regulated power supplies. It is widely used in automotive electronics as a voltage regulator, such as for controlling fuel injection and ignition systems. It is also often used in protection circuits due to its low reverse voltage and is widely used in both general and precision measurements due to its high power dissipation. It is also used to stabilize low-voltage signals.

Working Principle

The 2EZ20D10E3/TR8 diode works by allowing current to flow in one direction and blocking the flow in the other. It is made up of two semiconductor junctions – a P-N junction and an N-P junction, between two metal electrodes. When the reverse bias is applied, the Zener effect creates a breakdown voltage as electrons from the N region flow to the P side. This breakdown voltage is known as the Zener voltage, and it is the voltage at which the Zener diode will break down and allow a current to flow.

Once the diode is triggered, it will continue to draw current and the voltage will remain constant. The amount of current the diode draws is determined by the value of the Zener voltage, the type of diode, and the size of the diode. Depending on the size and type of the diode, it can be configured as either a single diode or as an array of several diodes connected in series or parallel with different Zener voltages, allowing wide range of voltages.

Conclusion

The 2EZ20D10E3/TR8 Zener diode is a versatile and reliable diode with a wide range of applications, from power regulators to protection circuits. Its low reverse voltage and high power dissipation make it a great choice for a wide range of projects. With its comparatively high reverse current, it offers excellent protection for digital circuits and a reliable reference for high-power applications.
