AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 Datasheet/PDFThe AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 is an array that is part of the Zener diode family. A Zener diode is a semiconductor diode device that, when operated in reverse bias mode, is used to regulate voltage or provide protection from overvoltages. When operated in reverse bias mode, a Zener diode allows the controlled amount of current to flow in the opposite direction.
The AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 is specifically designed for use in applications that require excellent surge capabilities as well as low temperature coefficient. It features five Zener diodes connected in a single pre-wired package. This array is also designed with a low noise clamp circuit to reduce the noise caused by transients and surges. The AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 can be operated at temperatures up to 200°C without experiencing any degradation in performance.
The AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 features a positive feedback circuit that helps to accurately regulate the voltage across the Zener diodes. This feedback circuit also helps to ensure that the Zener diodes operate in the reverse bias direction. The AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 also has excellent thermal response as it can operate at high temperatures without experiencing any significant performance degradation.
The AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 array is also designed with a low surge current capability to protect it against surges or transients that may appear at the output. This makes the AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 suitable for a wide range of applications that require protection from overvoltages. Additionally, the AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 features a reverse leakage current that is low enough to ensure a high degree of protection against ESD. The AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 also features an internal thermal shutdown circuit to help protect it against excessive current and temperature.
Overall, the AZ23B5V1-HE3-18 is an excellent choice for applications requiring the performance and protection of a Zener diode array. It is highly reliable, provides excellent surge capabilities, low temperature coefficient and has excellent performance in various different operating conditions.
