Working Principle

The AZ23B51-G3-18 consists of two diodes with one connected in the forward bias direction, and the other connected in the reverse bias direction. The forward biased diode conducts when the voltage across it is greater than the forward threshold. The reverse biased diode conducts when the voltage across it is lower than the reverse threshold. This arrangement results in an output voltage that is the difference between the forward threshold voltage and the reverse threshold voltage.

When the input voltage exceeds the forward threshold voltage of the forward biased diode, the diode and the internal resistor create a voltage divider, which lowers the voltage. Any voltage increase above the forward threshold is translated into a slight reduction of the output current. The reverse biased diode works in the same way, except it prevents any decrease in output voltage below the reverse threshold voltage.

In summary, the AZ23B51-G3-18 functions as an array of two diodes. Its operation is based on the characteristics of each diode, resulting in a voltage divider which outputs a regulated voltage that can be used in various applications.
