AZ23B15-G3-18 Application Field and Working Principle

The AZ23B15-G3-18 is a diode array designed and produced by ON Semiconductor. It belongs to the Zener series of Arrays and it is one of the most reliable elements of this type. It is normally used to stabilize electronic circuits that are otherwise highly prone to instabilities of the output voltages.

Features and Benefits

The AZ23B15-G3-18 is designed to provide excellent characteristics with respect to stability, temperature and environmental stress. Its operating temperature range of -40°C to 90°C makes it very reliable in a variety of environments and applications. As it has low reverse leakage current and symmetrical switching time characteristics, it also provides superior thermal stability. On account of its high surge current capability, it can take on high levels of mishandling and turbulence. Additionally, it is also equipped with a few design features to ensure superior performance such as a variety of surge ratings, temperature, voltage and current ratings.

Applications

The AZ23B15-G3-18 is often deployed in the following applications:

• High-precision voltage stabilizing circuits
• Circuits that are sensitive to EMI and transient disturbances
• Temperature control systems
• Automotive and avionics systems
• Telecommunication and computer networks
• Industrial process controllers

Working Principle

The AZ23B15-G3-18 supports a working principle that is fairly simple yet quite effective. It has two terminals, i.e., the cathode terminal and the anode terminal. These terminals are connected to the power supply in order to create a voltage loop, which in turn controls the current flow. As the voltage of the loop increases, the current decreases, and vice versa. This is mainly because the diode is constructed from material such as gallium arsenide, which permits current only in one direction and resists it in the other. In this way, it creates a differential between the supply voltage and the output voltage, which in turn stabilizes the circuit’s output voltage.

Conclusion

The AZ23B15-G3-18 is an ideal choice for a wide range of electronic circuits due to its ability to regulate supply voltage and drastically reduce power fluctuations. Besides, its excellent characteristics with regard to thermal stability and environmental stress tolerance further reinforce its position as a highly reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional voltage stabilizing solutions.
