The AZ23C18-HE3-18 diodes are a type of zener diode array. A zener diode array consists of several zener diodes connected in parallel and arranged on a chip. This type of diode array is used to provide regulated voltage and current to a device as well as to protect it against over-voltage conditions. It also provides an additional level of safety over other components that can be affected by over-voltage or mismatched voltages.

AZ23C18-HE3-18 has a maximum peak reverse voltage of 18 volts and operates between 0.2 and 0.7V. It has an on resistance of 0.33 ohms and a maximum peak forward current of 3A. It has a power dissipation of 0.9W and is available in a mini-SIP package.

The applications for AZ23C18-HE3-18 diodes vary, but it can be used to regulate voltage in most electronic circuits. It can be used as an over-voltage protection device, providing a safe level of current when the device is subjected to higher than expected voltages. It can also be used as a voltage reference in circuits where accuracy is required. It can be used to buffer signals (to protect them against transients) or as an adjustable voltage regulator to provide adjustable voltages.

The working principle of the AZ23C18-HE3-18 diode array is the same as for most zener diodes. In normal operation, the diode array allows current to pass through the resistive material, resulting in a voltage drop across the device. In over-voltage conditions, the voltage rises above the zener voltage, causing a breakdown in the resistive material and allowing a larger current to flow through the diode array, which regulates the voltage to a constant value. This keeps the voltage at a stable level, protecting the device from damage caused by excessive voltage.

The AZ23C18-HE3-18 diode array is a useful component for regulating steady voltage in most circuits. Its wide range of applications makes it a versatile device, while its protection against over-voltage conditions makes it an important safety measure. It is an inexpensive and reliable solution for many applications, and can be used where a reliable voltage regulation is required.
