The BZD27B68P-M3-08 is a single zener diode under the diodes category. It provides an on-state current of 5.5mA and an off-state current of 50nA. It withstands 17.5V reverse working voltage and with a forward voltage drop of 1.27V.

Application Field

The BZD27B68P-M3-08 finds application in various voltage regulation and circuitry protection tasks. It can be used to ensure that voltage levels in a circuit do not exceed the specified safe limits. For example, it can be used in power supplies to protect sensitive circuits from voltage spikes. In such cases, it can be used in combination with resistors, capacitors, and other diodes and transistors to form a complete regulation circuit.

Working Principle

The working principle of the BZD27B68P-M3-08 is based on the process of allowing current to flow in one direction but blocking it from flowing in the opposite direction. The diode does this by utilizing the intrinsic properties of semiconductors. When the diode is forward-biased, electrons flow freely through it and a relatively lower voltage drop is present. However, when the diode is reverse-biased, the electrons do not traverse the diode and a relatively higher voltage drop is present.

In the case of the BZD27B68P-M3-08, the zener breakdown effect takes place as the reverse-biased voltage approaches the breakdown voltage (17.5V), which is also the maximum reverse working voltage of the diode. This causes free electrons to be thermions and heat is produced, resulting in a relatively constant current for the diode in this region and providing protection for the circuit.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the BZD27B68P-M3-08 single zener diode can be used in various voltage regulation and circuitry protection tasks in combination with other components. Its working principle relies on the zener breakdown effect when the reverse-biased voltage approaches its maximum working voltage, resulting in a relatively constant current flow in that region.
