Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZV55-C10,115 Zener diode is a single component designed primarily to regulate electrical circuit voltage levels. This component is also known as a voltage regulator as it functions by limiting the upper or lower voltage levels to a defined levels that remain constant regardless of what the input or output voltage is.

A Zener diode is a reciprocal component to the diode. A diode allows for current to pass through it in one direction only, with the current and resistance changing according to the directions. The opposite is true for the Zener diode, which passes current in either direction, depending on the applied voltages. Furthermore, the current does not change significantly regardless of the applied voltage. The BZV55-C10,115 design allows for a maximum voltage of 10V with a maximum power dissipation of 115mW.

The application field of the BZV55-C10,115 Zener diode is primarily used in voltage regulation and control circuits. Its resistance and current limitation can be used to control the sensing of input overvoltage and undervoltage levels, as well as to protect signals and devices from dangerous overvoltages. This eliminates a lot of the issues that come with overvoltage protection, such as false triggering, since the BZV55-C10,115 is a stable component.

The working principle of this component is quite simple. It consists of two different voltages which act as a certain threshold for the applied voltage. When the applied voltage meets the threshold of the Zener diode, the component will start to conduct electricity and divert the current from the excess voltage, thus regulating the input voltage level.

The Zener diode also serves as a sort of protection against excess voltages, however it is currently being developed to maximize protection and reduce the risk of damages to connected devices and circuits. To this end, semiconductor companies are actively researching new designs which can increase the threshold voltage of these devices, safely reduce the maximum power dissipation of the diode and improve their thermal capacities, therefore making them more capable as well as more reliable.
