Introduction

A 2EZ3.6D/TR8 diode, also known as a Zener diode, is a single, small, semiconductor element connected between two electrodes with the majority of current flowing through them. It is used in many different applications, such as voltage regulation, sensing, signal conditioning, and protection.

Application Field

Zener diodes are used to regulate and provide an output voltage that is stable regardless of current fluctuations. This ability makes them particularly well-suited for applications such as voltage regulation, power supplies, digital power switching, and fault protection. In general, a zener diode acts as a clamp and can be used to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes.

For example, Zener diodes are used in personal computers to protect the motherboard and other components from power surges. They can be used as voltage references in electronics such as pulse-width modulation circuits, voltage converters, and motor oscillator circuits. In addition, zener diodes are used in automotive applications, such as electronic engine control systems, spark plug igniters, and fuel injectors.

Working Principle

A typical Zener diode works on the principle of reversible breakdown. This occurs when the voltage across the diode exceeds the diode’s reverse breakdown voltage, known as the Zener voltage. When the reverse breakdown voltage is reached, the diode begins to conduct current in the opposite direction through it. As this current flows, it dissipates some of the excess voltage in the form of heat, thus successfully regulating the voltage.

To ensure this voltage level is held, some Zener diodes are manufactured with higher power ratings and are designed to handle larger currents. It\'s important to note that the Zener voltage can vary greatly depending on the type of Zener diode being used. A 2EZ3.6D/TR8 diode is a 3.6V Zener diode, which is useful for voltage regulation applications.

As with all diodes, a Zener diode can only conduct electricity in one direction and is said to have a polarity. The Anode is the positive side of the diode and the Cathode is the negative side. When the polarity is reversed the Zener diode will not allow any current to pass, although it may pass a small amount of current like other diodes.

Conclusion

A 2EZ3.6D/TR8 diode is a single, small, small-signal semiconductor element connected between two electrodes used for voltage regulation, power supplies, digital power switching, and other applications. It works on the principle of reversible breakdown, by exploiting the Zener voltage when this is reached the Zener diode allows current to flow in the opposite direction and dissipates some of the excess voltage. These diodes are rated for varying power levels, meaning they can handle larger current flow.
