The AZ23C4V3-E3-08 is an array of Zeners from Diodes Inc. It contains four Zener diodes with a total break down voltage of 3.2V to 36V. The power dissipation for this array is 5W max and it has a rated temperature of -40℃ to +105℃. It has a body size of 3mm x 3mm.

Application Field

The AZ23C4V3-E3-08 is used primarily in DC-DC converters and power supplies. Its purpose is to protect against overvoltage conditions in these types of circuits. It can also be used in overvoltage detection, bias and clamping applications. This Zener array is widely used in automotive electronics, white goods, industrial processes and many other electronic circuits. Additionally, the AZ23C4V3-E3-08 can be used for ESD protection.

Working Principle

Zeners are diodes that are specifically designed to operate in reverse bias. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the Zener voltage, the diode will become reverse biased and start to conduct current. This will prevent the voltage from exceeding the Zener voltage and protect the circuit. As a result, the Zener diode will start to dissipate power and the voltage across it will remain constant. In this way, it will act like a voltage regulator and provide a stable output.

The AZ23C4V3-E3-08 Zener array is made up of four individual Zeners which are sued connected in series. This creates a total breakdown voltage of 3.2-36V. The breakdown voltage of these Zeners will depend on the individual breakdown voltages of the Zeners and the number of diodes used. If the voltage across the Zener array exceeds the breakdown voltage, the diodes will activate and start to conduct current. This will create a voltage drop across the Zener array, protecting the circuit.

The AZ23C4V3-E3-08 Zener array has a power dissipation of 5W max. This powers dissipated by the diodes is determined by the maximum voltage across the diode and the current that passes through it. The maximum current that the diodes can handle is determined by the maximum power dissipation rating. For example, if the maximum voltage across the Zener array is 30V, the maximum current that the diodes can handle is 166mA.

The temperature rating of the AZ23C4V3-E3-08 Zener array is -40°C to +105°C. The temperature of the diodes will affect its performance. As the temperature increases, the Zener voltage of the diodes will decrease, thus reducing the voltage drop across the Zener array. It is important to ensure that the temperature of the diodes does not exceed the maximum temperature rating of the Zener array.

The AZ23C4V3-E3-08 Zener array is a 3mm x 3mm body size. This small size makes it ideal for use in tight spaces, such as automotive electronics and portable devices. This ensures that the diodes can fit in even in the smallest of applications.
