AZ23C8V2-E3-18 Working Principle

At the heart of the AZ23C8V2-E3-18 Zener Array is its two-dimensional array composed of two series-connected elements in each row. This two-dimensional array allows the device to convert incoming AC power into DC power in a very efficient manner. The two-dimensional array is composed of two series-connected diodes, one on top of the other. The top row of the array contains the positive diodes, while the bottom row contains the negative diodes. The positive diode is connected with its positive end to the positive power supply, and its negative end to the negative power supply. The negative diode is connected with its negative end to the positive power supply, and its positive end to the negative power supply. When AC power is applied to the array, alternating couples of diodes in the array forward bias, providing a conduction route through the array.

The alternating couples of diodes forward bias in the array, allowing current to flow through the array in one direction, resulting in the conversion of alternating current into direct current. The result is a regulated power supply with a low ripple amplitude and good thermal and electrical balance. Additionally, the array also provides short-circuit protection, overcurrent protection, and overvoltage protection.

Conclusion

The AZ23C8V2-E3-18 Zener Array is a versatile device that can be used in a variety of different applications from automotive to industrial. It is a two-dimensional array composed of two series-connected elements in each row. This creates a device that is capable of providing low power and high current with a reduced ripple amplitude. Additionally, the array also provides a good thermal/electrical balance and additional protections such as short-circuit protection, overcurrent protection, and overvoltage protection.
