The BZG03C160TR is part of a broad range of single Zeners from Diodes Incorporated. This discrete Zener diode is packaged in a surface mount SOD-323, making it ideal for space-constrained locations. With a rated power dissipation of 500mW, this diode can be used in commercial and automotive applications.

The BZG03C160TR is designed to be a low-power switching diode and is primarily used as a voltage regulator in low-current DC applications. The device works by creating a minimum voltage drop between its anode and cathode terminals that is constant over a wide range of current. This is due to the Zeners semiconductor construction, which consists of a Zener junction formed between a P-type and N-type material.

In operation, the device acts like a normal diode but with a significantly lower voltage drop. When a forward bias is applied, current is allowed to pass through the junction with only an incredibly small voltage loss. This low voltage drop is determined by the selected forward bias current and the Zeners breakdown voltage. However, when the diode is reverse biased, the Zener junction does not break down and the device does not conduct current, thus preventing excessive current from flowing.

The BZG03C160TR has a nominal Zener voltage of 16V, which is perfect for providing a regulated output of 16V in low-current DC applications. These applications can range from powering small LEDs, to control circuitry on automotive sensors, to protecting delicate components from voltage spikes.

The BZG03C160TR is also AECQ-qualified, making it suitable for automotive applications. It also features a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C and an operating current of 0.35mA.

Diodes Incorporated offers devices that meet the needs of virtually any application. The BZG03C160TR is one such device that provides low voltage regulation in a small package. With its low dropout voltage, wide temperature range, and proven performance, this diode is an ideal choice for low-current DC applications.
