2M36ZHR0G Application Field and Working Principle

A 2M36ZHR0G single Zener diode is a form of semiconductor diode circuit conforms to the semiconductor diode law, providing a convenient way of regulating a voltage across a diode, beating the need for voltage dropping, reflow, and buck circuits to achieve regulation in most cases. This article will give a brief overview of the application field and the working principle of a 2M36ZHR0G device.

Application Field

2M36ZHR0G single Zener diodes are widely used in different kinds of applications, such as voltage regulation, battery protection, switching, rectifying, AC/DC converters and so on.

Voltage Regulation

2M36ZHR0G single Zener diodes have a wide range of forward voltages, making them suitable for many applications requiring voltage regulation. They are ideal for applications where the voltage needs to be held steady with minimal variation, such as in voltage regulators, over voltage protection and voltage protection circuits.

Battery Protection

2M36ZHR0G single Zener diodes can be used in applications to prevent overcharging and over voltage on a battery. The Zener diode allows current to flow through it until a certain voltage is reached, preventing any further current from passing through, protecting the battery from damage.

Switching and Rectifying

2M36ZHR0G single Zener diodes can be used in switching circuits as they can be used to control current flow and can also be used as rectifiers which convert AC power to DC power.

AC/DC Converters

2M36ZHR0G single Zener diodes are used in AC/DC converters to regulate the voltage to prevent over-voltage spikes. The diode acts as a voltage regulator to ensure the correct level of voltage is maintained in the circuit.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 2M36ZHR0G single Zener diode is based on the Zener diode law. When connected in the forward bias direction, a normal diode will allow current to flow, however, when connected in the reverse bias direction, any current trying to flow will be blocked.

For a Zener diode, when connected in the reverse bias direction, it will allow a small amount of current to flow, known as Zener breakdown. This happens when the voltage across the diode is greater than the Zener voltage of the device (known as the Vz).

The Zener breakdown causes a large amount of current to pass through the diode, known as the Zener current, which is a function of the Zener voltage of the device. As the voltage across the diode increases, the Zener current also increases, ensuring the voltage is held at the correct level.

The 2M36ZHR0G single Zener diode is an easy to use device for voltage regulation, as it can be connected in the reverse bias direction without having to worry about the device being damaged due to current flowing through it. This makes it ideal for applications in which precise voltage regulation is needed.
