2EZ8.2D10/TR12

Diodes - Zener - Single

2EZ8.2D10/TR12 is a single Zener diode, first released by manufacturer in early 2020. It is widely used in voltage regulation and protection in various circuit designs.

Application Field

2EZ8.2D10/TR12 is designed to provide on-chip voltage clamping and transient voltage suppression. It is ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including automotive, IoT and consumer electronics.

This Zener diode is also used in microprocessor systems such as embedded controllers, digital logic controllers, personal computers and embedded systems. Because of its small size and low voltage, it can be used in small confined spaces where other devices may not be able to fit.

Furthermore, 2EZ8.2D10/TR12 is ideal for use in voltage regulator circuits, EMI filters, bias regulators, load switching and surge protector circuits.

Working Principle

The 2EZ8.2D10/TR12 working principle is simple but effective. It has two pins, a Cathode and an Anode. When a voltage is applied to the Anode, it allows current to flow in a single direction while blocking reverse current. The Cathode is connected to the ground and provides a reference voltage, which is typically around 8.2 volts.

When a voltage potential exists between the Anode and the Cathode terminals, current can flow. As the voltage difference increases, the current increases exponentially, until the device reaches its reverse breakdown voltage, at which point the current increases dramatically and can cause damage to the circuit.

The Zener diode is particularly effective in limiting Voltage variation. When the voltage difference between the Anode and the Cathode exceeds the Zener breakdown voltage, the Zener diode will begin diverting excess current, preventing the voltage from rising excessively. In this way, the Zener diode acts like a voltage clamp and protects against voltage transients.

Conclusion

In summary, the 2EZ8.2D10/TR12 is a single Zener diode that is used in a wide variety of applications, such as automotive, consumer electronics, microprocessors and embedded controllers. It works on a simple but effective principle, allowing current to flow in a single direction while blocking reverse current. The diode also acts like a voltage clamp, limiting the voltage in a circuit and preventing damage.
