Diodes - Zener - Arrays

AZ23C6V8-G3-18 or other related variations are a type of diode arrays, or a group of diodes designed to function as a single component. Specifically, these diode arrays can be used to provide protection from overvoltage, also known as overvoltage protection (OVP).

A diode is the simplest form of a semiconductor device, and it is composed of two layers of a semiconductor. Diodes have two terminals, a positive side and a negative side, known as anode and cathode respectively. The flow of current will be from the positive side to the negative side in a single direction, with the cathode side being the negative terminal in most cases. As such, they are used as rectifiers, allowing effective control of the current.

AZ23C6V8-G3-18 diode arrays are primarily used to provide overvoltage protection. With a junction breakdown voltage ranging from 5.8 V to 6.8 V, the diode arrays are designed to shut down the circuit in the event of overvoltage. This is accomplished by providing a high instantaneous peak forward current rating of 4 A and a non-repetitive peak pulse forward surge current of 18 A when a voltage of up to 8 V is applied from the anode side to the cathode side.

The diode array is designed to rapidly detect overvoltage and clamp the voltage to the desired level, thus protecting the circuit from further overvoltage. It does this by allowing the current to flow as normal, until the voltage is higher than the desired level, at which point it will enter the electrostatic discharge (ESD) mode and sharply drop the voltage, effectively providing the required overvoltage protection.

AZ23C6V8-G3-18 diode arrays can offer a wide range of benefits over stand-alone diodes, such as by offering a higher level of protection, a higher frequency of operation, and a smaller form factor. They are often used in compact electronic equipment, such as personal computers, smartphones and tablets, as well as a number of other types of electronic devices. The diode array is also designed to have a low leakage current, as low as 0.2% at a maximum of 1mA.

In conclusion, AZ23C6V8-G3-18 diode arrays are an excellent choice for providing overvoltage protection in various types of electronic devices, due to their low leakage current, higher level of protection, and high frequency of operation. They can effectively protect the circuits from overvoltage and allow for a more reliable operation.
