Working Principle

The AZ23B27-HE3-18 array of zener diodes works on the principle of reverse-polarity breakdown. When a reverse voltage is applied to the diode, the current density increases and eventually reaches a point, called the breakdown voltage. At this point, the diode is said to be in breakdown and the voltage across it remains constant. This constant voltage is known as the zener voltage.

The two zener diodes in the array are trimmed to different breakdown voltages, thus allowing the device to provide a wide range of voltage ranges. The device features a wide range breakdown voltage of 9.1 V to 12.5 V, with a maximum power dissipation of 625 mW. This allows the device to be used in a wide range of applications.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the AZ23B27-HE3-18 array of zener diodes is a cost-effective and reliable solution for a variety of applications. The device’s thermal characteristics enable it to be used in a wide range of operating temperatures, while its wide range breakdown voltages make it ideal for use in voltage regulation and protection systems.
