It is also suitable for EMI suppression in low-voltage and medium-voltage circuits. Other common applications of the BZD27C220PHRTG include switching regulators, transient and surge suppressors, solenoid drivers, and electronic power supplies.

Working Principle

The working principle of the BZD27C220PHRTG Zener diode is based on the reversed biased process. When an electric current is passed through the diode, it acts like an open circuit and does not allow the current to flow. However, when the voltage is greater than the breakdown voltage of the diode, current will flow. This breakdown voltage of the diode is determined by the manufacturing process, and it is the most important characteristic of the BZD27C220PHRTG diode.

The BZD27C220PHRTG Zener diode is designed to maintain a constant voltage even when a current passes through it. This constant voltage helps in providing a stable voltage source for the operation of different applications. It is also used to provide isolation between two sources of electricity to prevent damage to the circuits connected to them.

Another important application of the BZD27C220PHRTG Zener diode is the protection of circuits against transient voltages. It helps in limiting the amount of voltage that can pass through them, thus protecting them from potential damage when exposed to large fluctuations in current. It is also used in providing a stable supply of electricity to critical electronic components.

Conclusion

The BZD27C220PHRTG diode is a low-cost, robust and reliable diode with a wide variety of uses. Its low forward voltage, low leakage current, and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for different applications. It is mainly used for switching applications, AC to DC converters, motor drive applications, motor control, inrush junction control, high side transistor drives, and relay drives. Its working principle is based on the reversed biased process, allowing current to flow when voltages are greater than the breakdown voltage of the diode.
