Diodes - Zener - Arrays have a wide range of applications and the AZ23C47-7 is no exception. This particular Zener diode array is a medium-power surface-mount option and tends to be used in computer, telecommunications and industrial applications. It has several features that make it a good choice for these applications, including low forward voltage drop, low capacitance, and low leakage current. In this article, we will look at the application field of the AZ23C47-7, as well as its working principle.

Application Field

The AZ23C47-7 is a dual Zener diode array that is designed for general-purpose applications. It is a surface-mount device designed for use in typical computer and telecommunications applications. It is especially well suited for places where a low forward voltage drop, low capacitance and low leakage current are desired.

For example, the AZ23C47-7 is commonly used in personal computers and peripherals, to provide overvoltage protection and overcurrent in high-speed circuits. It can also be used in telecommunications equipment, where it provides transient protection. Additionally, it is an excellent choice for industrial applications, including power management, instrumentation, and control.

The AZ23C47-7 can also be used in other applications where a low operating temperature is desired, as it can operate at temperatures as low as -40°C. Its maximum operating temperature is 150°C.

Working Principle

The AZ23C47-7 is a dual Zener diode array that is designed to protect electronic components from overvoltage and transient surges. It consists of two diodes, each with its own breakdown voltage, that are connected in series. The device is designed so that when the input voltage exceeds a certain level, one diode begins to conduct. This reduces the voltage across the other diode, regulating the voltage at the load.

The AZ23C47-7 also has very low capacitance due to its construction. This means that it is relatively unaffected by high-frequency signals and is able to regulate voltage at high frequencies. Additionally, it has very low leakage current, which helps to reduce power consumption in the device.

Conclusion

The AZ23C47-7 is a medium-power surface-mount Zener diode array and is suitable for use in a variety of computer, telecommunications and industrial applications. It is designed to provide overvoltage and transient protection, and has several features that make it a good choice for these types of applications, including low forward voltage drop, low capacitance, and low leakage current. With its wide operating temperature range and low operating current, the AZ23C47-7 is an excellent choice for many different applications.
