Diodes - Zener - Single

BZT52C36-7 is a diode that belongs to the family of single Zener diodes. It is a PN junction diode that is used to regulate voltage in a circuit or otherwise referred to as a voltage regulator. It is employed in a variety of electronic applications due to its unique ability to control the voltage levels in circuits while still maintaining a low forward voltage drop.

Application

BZT52C36-7 can be used in a variety of applications. These include, but are not limited to, voltage regulation of power supplies, array protection and transient voltage suppression. It is also the go-to diode when circuit designers need reverse voltage protection, oscillator circuits and constant current regulation. The diode is able to withstand high voltage and is an excellent choice for use in circuit projects where high-speed operation is a must.

Features

The Zener diode provides several advantages to users. These advantages include high surge/current handling capabilities, high reliability and superior temperature stability. BZT52C36-7 offers a great combination of low breakdown voltage and tight tolerance on different electrical characteristic values. It also offers superb thermal stability, making it the ideal choice for applications at elevated temperatures.

Package

BZT52C36-7 is available in two different packages, the DO-41 package, and the SOD-123 package. The DO-41 package is offered in a standard plastic package that includes copper leads. The SOD-123 package comes in an alternate plastic package which also has copper leads. This alternate package has slightly higher voltage ratings than the DO-41 package.

Working Principle

BZT52C36-7 works on the principle that when a voltage is applied to a p-n junction, a small amount of current will flow that causes a minute drop in the voltage across the junction. This voltage drop will always remain the same no matter how much current is drawn from the diode, as long as it does not exceed the diode\'s maximum current rating. This small voltage drop which is measured in volts is called the Zener voltage. BZT52C36-7 operates at a Zener voltage of 3.6 V.

The diode is reversed biased, meaning the voltage applied to it is in the reverse direction of the desired current flow. As the voltage increases, an avalanche effect takes place, thereby causing a massive increase in the current flow. This increase in current flow is then limited by the Zener voltage value of 3.6 V, thus producing a constant constant current and steady voltage output.

Conclusion

In conclusion, BZT52C36-7 can be used in a variety of applications, offers excellent thermal stability, and operates at a Zener voltage of 3.6 V. It is a reliable and cost-effective way to provide a steady voltage output and make sure the voltage does not exceed its maximum current rating. The diode is offered in the convenient DO-41 and SOD-123 packages and is a popular choice amongst circuit designers.
