The AZ23C3V6-E3-08 is a 3.3V, 6-taps surface mount voltage regulator array (VLA) composed of six independent Zener diode chips in one package. This VLA has a tight Zener parameter distribution of maximum absolute Zener current and maximum Zener voltage. The AZ23C3V6-E3-08 is designed to provide regulated output voltage in systems where input voltage variations have been reduced.

The AZ23C3V6-E3-08 diodes provide a consistent, regulated output voltage in a wide range of applications, from automotive and consumer electronics, to industrial and instrumentation systems. This VLA has thermal protection that limits its operating temperature range, as well as a wide input voltage range (2.0V to 15V).

The working principle of this voltage regulator array relies on the properties of the Zeners. When forward biased, the Zeners act like any other diode and allow current to flow through them relatively uninterrupted. However, when in reverse bias, the Zener diode will block all current from flowing through, except for a small amount, set by the reverse breakdown voltage, which is determined by the voltage rating of the diode.

Once a Zener diode is reverse biased to its rated voltage, the resistance of the device increases significantly, allowing only a minimal current to flow through. This low current maintains the voltage of the diode stable at the rated voltage, providing a regulated and consistent output voltage across all devices.

When all six diodes in the AZ23C3V6-E3-08 are connected in parallel, they act as one Zener diode, providing a much higher current handling capability than a single Zener diode can. This is also known as a "junction diode," and it is a common feature of voltage regulator arrays.

The AZ23C3V6-E3-08 is ideal for applications in which the input voltage is relatively low and consistent, such as consumer electronic devices, automotive systems, industrial machinery and instrumentation applications. It is also an excellent choice for battery-powered devices that need regulated voltage for prolonged operation.

In conclusion, the AZ23C3V6-E3-08 is a voltage regulator array composed of six independent Zener diode chips in one package. It is designed to provide regulated and consistent output voltage in a wide range of applications, and its junction diode configuration allows it to handle higher current loads than a single Zener diode. It is suitable for battery-powered devices and applications with relatively low and consistent input voltage.
