The 3EZ180D10/TR8 is a silicon Zener diode primarily used in the field of voltage regulation. It is a single diode, meaning that unlike more complex diode circuits, it is composed of only one diode junction. Such a device is fairly straightforward in its function, and as a result, it is applicable to a wide range of voltage regulation tasks.

At its most basic, a Zener diode is a type of diode that has been designed to operate in reverse bias mode. In other words, the diode is not just allow current to flow from anode to cathode; if a higher-than-normal voltage is applied to it, then current will also flow from the cathode to anode. This type of diode exhibits a breakdown voltage, which is the voltage at which the current will start to flow even if connected in reverse bias mode.

To put it simply, the 3EZ180D10/TR8 is used when a specific voltage needs to be regulated. It is placed in series with a power supply, with the anode connected to a positive terminal and the cathode connected to ground. When a voltage is applied that exceeds the Zener voltage of the diode, current will start to flow in reverse across it, thus reducing the total voltage to the desired level.

The 3EZ180D10/TR8 has an operating range of about 8V to 18V, and its maximum power dissipation rating is 500mW. It also has a maximum Zener current of 5mA, with a tolerance of ± 5%. This means that the 3EZ180D10/TR8 is well-suited for applications where a precise voltage is required, such as in logic circuits and measuring instruments.

In addition to its use in voltage regulation, the 3EZ180D10/TR8 can also be used as a voltage reference. When connected in a reverse bias circuit, it acts as a reference source, ensuring that the output voltage is always the same regardless of current or temperature fluctuations.

The 3EZ180D10/TR8 is a versatile device that can be used in a number of different applications. From its use as a voltage regulator to its use as a voltage reference, the 3EZ180D10/TR8 is a reliable, cost-effective solution for providing precise voltage control.
