AZ23C3V6-TP

Zener diodes arrays, such as AZ23C3V6-TP, are widely used in a variety of applications. The use of Zener diodes in an array format offers several advantages, including improved reliability and better cost efficiency. In this article, we will discuss the application fields and working principles of AZ23C3V6-TP.

Application Fields

AZ23C3V6-TP is an ultra high precision space-saving array of Zener diodes with a breakdown voltage of 3.6V. It provides superior performance for voltage surge protection, over-voltage detection, and low power audio signal clipping applications. It is also suitable for general-purpose voltage regulation, voltage clamping, and load switching.

This array is designed to be used in a wide range of applications such as automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. It is suitable for low current applications, which require high reliability, high efficiency, and low consumption.

Working Principles

A Zener diode array is a type of diode array in which each diode is connected in parallel. When a voltage greater than the breakdown voltage of the diode is applied across the diode, a current begins to flow through the diode and the diode starts conducting. This happens due to the fact that the diode’s breakdown voltage is lower than the applied voltage, causing the diode to conduct current.

In AZ23C3V6-TP, the body of each Zener diode is arranged in an array, which allows for a great degree of flexibility and allows for all the diodes to be connected in parallel. This allows for a larger current to be passed through the diode array than a single diode. The breakdown voltage of each diode is 3.6V, meaning that the array can handle voltages up to that level.

In addition, the diodes can be connected in series or parallel to provide a variety of voltage or current ratings. For instance, connecting two Zener diodes in series increases the breakdown voltage of the array, while connecting two diodes in parallel will decrease the voltage, but increase the current.

The AZ23C3V6-TP diode array also includes a thermal overload protection, which prevents the diode from overheating when exposed to excessive current loads. This feature ensures that the diode array is not damaged due to excessive current. It also increases the durability of the diode array, making it an ideal choice for long-term applications.

In conclusion, the AZ23C3V6-TP Zener diode array is a highly reliable and efficient option for a variety of applications. It is designed to provide superior performance for voltage surge protection, over-voltage detection, and low power audio signal clipping. It is also suitable for general-purpose voltage regulation, voltage clamping, and load switching. With its high precision, space-saving design and its thermal overload protection, this diode array is an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.
