Diodes, or semiconductor devices, have been a cornerstone of modern electronics for decades. One type of diode is particularly useful in many electronic applications: Zener diodes, described as stabilized voltage-reference elements. One of the most common Zener diodes, BZD27C39PHRHG, is a single, 5-watt, 27-volt device. It has several important characteristics and has a scope of application and operating principles.

Variants and Characteristics

The BZD27C39PHRHG is mainly available in a glass case, although it can also be found in a hermetically-sealed aluminum envelope. The diode has both a “straight” and a “reverse” configuration. Its various features include:

• 5 watt power dissipation
• Voltage drop of 27V
• Low-noise operation
• High current capability
• Good temperature stability

Applications

The BZD27C39PHRHG can be used in a variety of direct current (DC) applications, such as in power supplies, as a reference, and in other low-power applications. It should not be used in applications where the voltage drop is greater than 50V. Some potential applications of the diode include:

• Power supplies
• Voltage regulators
• DC amplifiers
• Reference applications
• Oscillators

Working Principle

Zener diodes, including the BZD27C39PHRHG, operate based on the principle of “reverse bias” or breakdown. This means that the device is connected in reverse (i.e., the cathode is connected to the negative side and the anode is connected to the positive side) and it allows current to flow when the voltage reaches a certain saturation level. This level is regulated, hence the “stabilized voltage-reference element” description of the diode.

When in a reverse-bias situation, the semiconductor material within the diode becomes charged and creates a depletion zone. As the voltage increases, the depletion zone becomes thinner and thinner, until the voltage reaches the breakdown or saturation level of the diode. At this point, current is allowed to flow, in which case it is referred to as a Zener diode breakdown.

The BZD27C39PHRHG is designed to allow current to flow at 27V, as this is the Zener voltage of the device. This means that, when the voltage reaches 27V, the device will let current pass, which makes it useful for a variety of applications and systems.

Conclusion

The BZD27C39PHRHG is a single, 5-watt, 27-volt diode that is designed to work in reverse-bias mode. Its characteristics, such as its low-noise operation, make it a suitable choice in various DC applications, such as power supplies, reference applications, and DC amplifiers. The diode’s operating principle is based on the reverse bias or breakdown concept, and its voltage drop is fixed at 27V.
