The AZ23C36-TP is a semiconductor device, classified as a diode-zener array, which is used in various applications as part of a circuit. Diodes-Zener arrays come in a variety of shapes and sizes, each of which is designed for a specific purpose. The AZ23C36-TP is no different and its application field and working principles can be broken down into several subsections.

To begin with, the AZ23C36-TP is primarily used in high-voltage rectification applications; a rectifier is an electronic device which changes a high-voltage alternating current (AC) into a low-voltage direct current (DC). In a high-voltage rectification application, the AZ23C36-TP is designed to convert an extremely high-voltage AC input into a regulated, low-voltage DC output, as this is necessary for many modern circuits, such as those found in power supplies, lighting fixtures, automotive electronics and so on.

The AZ23C36-TP, when employed in a rectification circuit, works by the principle of \'Zener breakdown’, which is an electrical phenomenon whereby a voltage greater than the rated forward-blocking voltage of the device is applied across the device, causing a current flow. This current flows from the anode to the cathode and, as it does so, it is ‘clipped’ by the Zener breakdown effect, thus producing a low-voltage DC output.

In addition, the AZ23C36-TP has a number of other applications which depend on its ability to produce linear voltage regulation, such as motor control and power supply voltage regulation. In these applications, the AZ23C36-TP functions as a \'two-terminal regulator\', where it is necessary to automatically adjust the output voltage of the circuit to compensate for variations in the supply voltage or current. In a motor control application, the AZ23C36-TP can be used to regulate the speed of the motor by automatically adjusting the output voltage as necessary.

In terms of its design, the AZ23C36-TP is a two-terminal, three-diode Zener array manufactured using proprietary processes and materials. The array consists of three separate, integrated Zeners and is configured such that each Zener is sequentially brought into conduction, thus providing a ‘built-in’ limit for its output voltage.

At the heart of the design is the Zener breakdown effect, which occurs when any of the diodes is exposed to a voltage above its \'Zener\' rating. In this case, with the AZ23C36-TP, the first diode is rated to break down at a voltage of 36V, the second at a voltage of 48V, and the third at a voltage of 59V. When any of the diodes is exposed to a voltage above its rating, the breakdown process occurs and the diode is brought into conduction, thus limiting the output voltage of the circuit.

In conclusion, the AZ23C36-TP is a semiconductor device classified as a diode-zener array, primarily used in high-voltage rectification circuits. It relies on the Zener breakdown effect to regulate its output voltage, which is achieved by the sequential conduction of three separate diodes. Additionally, the AZ23C36-TP can also be used in other linear voltage regulation applications, such as motor control and power supply voltage regulation.
