The AZ23B16-E3-18 is a type of diode array that incorporates the zener structure. It is designed to provide high quality over-voltage protection without any external components. This device is capable of withstanding an operating voltage of up to 18 volts, making it well suited for applications requiring a large amount of safety margin.

The AZ23B16-E3-18 is a three-terminal device with an anode, cathode and ground terminal. The anode is connected to a positive voltage supply, which will be subjected to over-voltage protection. The cathode is connected to ground, while the ground terminal helps balance the device against any additional leakage current. Depending on the application, the AZ23B16-E3-18 may also need to be connected to the load via a resistor in order to protect against over-voltage.

The working principle of the AZ23B16-E3-18 is similar to that of a regular zener diode. When the voltage across the diode reaches a certain magnitude, it will be driven into conduction and the excess voltage will be diverted to ground. This action effectively clamps the voltage at the anode to the zener voltage, which in the case of the AZ23B16-E3-18 is 18 volts. Once the voltage has been clamped and the current flow has decreased, the AZ23B16-E3-18 will revert back to its non-conducting state and will return to its original voltage level.

The AZ23B16-E3-18 has a number of applications in protective circuit designs. One of the most common uses is as an over-voltage protection diode. The AZ23B16-E3-18 can be used to protect against over-voltages of up to 18 volts, making it an ideal choice for circuit designs that require a high level of protection. Additionally, the AZ23B16-E3-18 can also be used as a current limiting diode or a switching diode when combined with other components.

The AZ23B16-E3-18 is a versatile and reliable device that can be used in a wide range of applications requiring over-voltage protection. Its simple three-terminal configuration and wide operating voltage range make it an ideal choice for many circuit designs. The AZ23B16-E3-18 also has an inherently low leakage current, making it even more suitable for high quality over-voltage protection applications.
