A Zener diode is a two-lead semiconductor made from silicon or germanium, that has a highly doped P-N junction. This specialized diode allows current to flow in the backward direction when a certain reverse or breakdown voltage, known as the Zener voltage, is reached. Under such conditions, when the breakdown voltage is reached, the diode 1) breaks down and conducts current in reverse without becoming forward-biased like a regular diode. The Zener diode therefore acts as a voltage regulator, with constant voltage across the diode regardless of the current.

Two-lead Zener diodes, such as the 2EZ6.8DE3/TR8, are designed to operate in reverse breakdown mode. These diodes feature a breakdown voltage of 6.8 volts with a maximum power dissipation of 250mW at an operating temperature of -55°C to +125°C. This type of diode can be used to rectify AC signals or for voltage regulation purposes.

The 2EZ6.8DE3/TR8 works as a voltage regulator due to its ability to clamp the voltage across itself to a specified voltage level. When the voltage across a 2EZ6.8DE3/TR8 is higher than 6.8 V, the diode’s reverse current increases and it acts like a short circuit, allowing all of the current to pass through the diode. This results in a constant voltage drop across the diode. In other words, the diode regulates the voltage to the specified breakdown voltage.

The 2EZ6.8DE3/TR8 has a wide variety of applications, like being used as a rectifier and as a reference voltage source. It can also be used to suppress and stabilize transients within a system. In addition, they can be used to regulate and control current in multiple applications such as switch-mode power supplies, voltage regulators, and other power-management circuits.

The 2EZ6.8DE3/TR8 is a versatile diode that can be used in a variety of applications. It is advantageous as it provides high reliability and low power consumption due to its low breakdown voltage and low reverse leakage current. A major benefit of this type of diode is its ability to operate over wide temperature ranges and its low reverse current leakage.
