Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZD17C15P RVG is a Zener single diode from STMicroelectronics, manufactured in a small SOD-323 silicon package. It is a reliable, low cost device suitable for wide variety of applications, such as voltage stabilization and voltage limiting. The diode features an integrated avalanche diode and a Schottky diode.

The BZD17C15P RVG is a Zener diode, which means it is primarily intended for operating in the reverse-bias region and passes s current only when the applied voltage is higher than a certain threshold. This reverse bias condition results in a breakdown or "zener" voltage. The voltage can be divided into two regions: the forward bias region, and the reverse bias region.

In the forward bias region, the characteristic is almost like a normal diode, but with a much higher voltage drop as the current increases. The current then rapidly decreases as the voltage across the junction increases. The Zener diode exhibits a flat current-voltage characteristic in the reverse bias region. This is called the Zener breakdown voltage, which is usually from 2.4 to 200 volts for most Zener diodes.

The BZD17C15P RVG is designed for use in a variety of electronic applications, including voltage regulation and voltage limitation. The diode can be used in both AC and DC control circuits. It can also provide overvoltage protection and power supply decoupling. The Zener characteristic also allows it to be used in voltage dividing and voltage biasing applications.

The BZD17C15P has an integrated avalanche and Schottky diodes. This provides an additional protection from high voltage surges. The avalanche diode is designed to brake down when the voltage reaches a certain level, which prevents breakdown and protects the circuit from overvoltage condition. The Schottky diode has low conduction loss, which provides low power consumption and fast switching characteristics. The diode also features a low static current.

The BZD17C15P RVG has a wide variety of applications, including LCD and Plasma displays, automotive electronics, power supplies, digital circuits and consumer electronics. It is especially well-suited for voltage stabilization and voltage limiting in motor and motor control systems. The diode can also be used in power protection circuits, such as surge protection devices, lightning protection circuits and overvoltage protection devices. The diode can also be used in voltage regulating and voltage biasing circuits.

To summarize, the BZD17C15P RVG is a Zener single diode from STMicroelectronics, designed for a wide variety of applications, including voltage regulation and voltage limitation. The diode is equipped with an integrated avalanche and Schottky diode that provide additional protection from high voltage surges. The diode is also suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as power protection circuits and voltage regulating and biasing circuits.
