2EZ20D5/TR8 Application Field and Working Principle

Diodes - Zener - Single is a category of electronic components that are used for a wide range of applications. 2EZ20D5/TR8 is part of the Diodes - Zener - Single classification and is popular for its great performance, wide voltage range and low profile design.

This component has become commonly used in a variety of applications ranging from consumer electronics, to medical applications, and industrial applications. Its working principle and application fields are discussed in the following paragraphs.

Working Principle

2EZ20D5/TR8 diode works on the principle of Zener breakdown. Zener breakdown occurs when the electric field inside a diode is higher than the potential difference between the two terminals. This causes a rapid breakdown of the electric field which produces a flow of current in the form of electron-hole pairs.

The electric field is created between the anode and the cathode in a diode when an applied voltage exceeds a certain threshold. This electric field increases exponentially with the applied voltage until it exceeds a critical value at which point the Zener breakdown occurs.

As the Zener breakdown occurs, the electrons inject energy into the surrounding material, which can be used to power other circuits. The energy injected by electrons is referred to as the Zener voltage.

Applications

2EZ20D5/TR8 has numerous applications due to its wide voltage range and low profile design. It can be used in the following applications:

• Power converter circuits
• Overvoltage protection circuits
• High current switching circuits
• Low voltage regulator circuits
• Signal level detection circuits

In power converter circuits, the 2EZ20D5/TR8 can be used as a voltage clamp, to protect the circuit from high voltage surges. Similarly, in overvoltage protection circuits, the component can be used to limit the amount of current flowing in a circuit.

In high current switching circuits, the component can help ensure that the switch does not experience any damage due to excess voltage. In low voltage regulator circuits, the component can be used to regulate the output voltage and in signal level detection circuits it can help identify the level of a particular signal.

Conclusion

The 2EZ20D5/TR8 diode is part of the Diodes - Zener - Single category and is mainly used for voltage regulation and protection applications. It works on the principle of Zener breakdown and has a wide voltage range and low profile design, making it suited for numerous applications.
