The BZV55-C16 series is a family of single Zener diodes characterized by medium current, wide operating temperature ranges, and medium voltage ratings. Available in both SOT363 and leaded packages, the BZV55-C16 can be used in a wide variety of applications. Application fields range from simple voltage stabilization to complex monitoring and control circuits where a tight voltage regulation is required. This article will explain the working principle of the BZV55-C16 series, as well as its application fields.

A Zener diode is a semiconductor device with a maximum reverse leakage current, which usually begins at breakdown voltage. The reverse current is due to an avalanche breakdown, and the diode can be used for voltage regulation. The Zener diode can be used to regulate the output voltage in power supplies and other circuits. The Zener diode in the BZV55-C16 series is rated at 16 volts, with a maximum power dissipation of 500 milliwatts.

The BZV55-C16 series has several features, such as low reverse leakage current, tight voltage regulation, flat-curve temperature coefficient, and low junction capacitance. The structures of the BZV55-C16 series are built optimized for low current and very low thermal resistance. The BZV55-C16 series also has a wide operating temperature range of –65 to +150°C, ensuring reliable operation in extreme environments.

The BZV55-C16 series works in three ways to regulate the supply voltage: it limits the source current, prevents oscillations, and clamps voltage transients. The device limits the source current by operating in the active region and clamping the voltage at its breakdown voltage level. This allows the voltage to remain within a range and allows the internal devices of the circuit to operate properly. It also prevents oscillations by providing a stable basic impedance value in the feedback loop. And finally, it clamps voltage transients by serving as a voltage clamp that limits the energy of the transient, allowing only the energy necessary for the circuit to function properly.

The BZV55-C16 series can be used in a broad range of applications, such as voltage regulator modules, power supplies, LED drivers, and automotive systems. The device is also suitable for circuit protection and signal processing applications, due to its low reverse leakage current and clamping action. Moreover, it can be used in a variety of monitoring and control systems, such as industrial equipment, medical equipment, and military applications.

With its wide operating temperature range, medium current ratings, and tight voltage regulation, the BZV55-C16 series is suitable for many applications. It is available in leaded and surface-mount packages, and can easily be integrated into any circuit design. Its low cost makes it an attractive choice for any application requiring a reliable, low-cost voltage regulator.
