BZT52C8V2S-TP Datasheet/PDFThe BZT52C8V2S-TP is a widely used Zener diode from the BZT52C8V2S series from NXP Semiconductors. These devices are primarily intended to provide clamping and voltage regulator functions, typically in electronic circuits that use Transistors, Thryristors, Resistors and ICs. The part is a single diode and is capable of generating an output voltage ranging from 8.2V typically to 5.5 volts typically. Its major applications are in data line protection, automotive application, overvoltage protection for I/O ports, memory module protection and LCD backlighting.
The working principle of the BZT52C8V2S-TP is based on the Zener effect. When the Zener diode is reverse biased, a breakdown voltage occurs which results in a lower voltage than the applied across the diode. With the right conditions, a negative resistance region is created. This causes the breakdown voltage to remain constant and because of this it can be used as a voltage reference. This diode is used to quickly adjust the voltage levels according to the particular application, to provide overvoltage clamping over a wide range and also to stabilize the output in RC circuits.
The BZT52C8V2S-TP has a low dynamic resistance which allows it to handle a wide range of current ratings. The series has a maximum peak reverse voltage rating of 8.2V and a maximum current transfer ration of 10%. The response time of the reverse recovery time is also usually within the range of 0.68 μs. The surge rating for this series is between 37 A and 75 A. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications where the device can be used as a stabilizer.
When compared to other types of Zener diodes, the BZT52C8V2S-TP is a better choice for most applications. It is capable of operating at elevated temperatures and provides enhanced protection leading to improved reliability. The device can also be used as a voltage regulator using a low voltage drop that would not require additional resistors in order to provide voltage stability. It is also more rugged than other Zener diodes with a maximum peak reverse voltage of 8.2V. This makes it ideal for use in many industrial applications such as data line protection and automotive application.
In conclusion, the BZT52C8V2S-TP is a reliable single diode which offers excellent performance over a wide range of applications. The device has a wide range of voltage clamps and can be used for rapid voltage adjustments in many cases. Its low dynamic resistance makes it suitable for a wide range of current ratings and its maximum peak reverse voltage rating of 8.2V make it an ideal choice for many industries. It is also capable of operating at elevated temperatures and provides enhanced protection for increased reliability and durability.
