The device BZV55-C3V0,135 belongs to the family of single Zener diodes. Single Zener diodes are extensively used in many different types of applications and are characterized by their ability to establish a controlled reverse breakdown from a low peak voltage value. As a result, this type of diode commonly finds application in areas where a constant voltage source is needed.

Before understanding the working principle of the BZV55-C3V0,135, it is important to be aware of how a Zener diode works in general. A Zener diode is composed of a semiconductor diode that has been manufactured with a specially designed junction. This junction is designed to operate in reverse breakdown when a specified voltage is applied to it. When the applied voltage reaches the specific reverse breakdown voltage, the diode begins to conduct in the reverse direction and a constant voltage is provided across the diode until the maximum forward current has been reached (known as the Zener voltage).

The BZV55-C3V0,135 is a single Zener diode that is designed with a breakdown voltage of 3.0V. It provides maximum power dissipation of 135mW, making it an ideal choice for applications that require a low voltage source with low power dissipation requirements. Examples of such applications include precision voltage regulation and signal rectification for low power scenarios. This diode is also very popular for its ability to provide greater accuracy over a wide temperature range. It exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current of 10μA and is opted for applications where a low leakage current is a requirement. Its operating temperature range is -55°C to +85°C.

In addition to having a breakdown voltage of 3.0V, this single Zener diode also has an associated derating function. This function dictates the maximum power dissipation at any given temperature. The maximum power dissipation of 135mW is dependent on the junction temperature. At 25°C, for example, the maximum power dissipation is rated at 75mW. As the temperature is increased, the maximum power dissipation gradually reduces, with the minimum power dissipation at 85°C being rated at 27mW. As such, when using this device it is important to stay within the correct derating conditions.

The working principle of the BZV55-C3V0,135 is based on the fact that as the voltage across the diode reaches the reverse breakdown voltage, it begins to conduct in the reverse direction. This allows for a source of constant voltage to be established across the diode. It is important to note that this device is primarily used for applications where a low voltage level with accuracy and minimal leakage current is desired. As such, if the application requires higher voltages, the BZV55-C3V0,135 is not the best choice.

In conclusion, the BZV55-C3V0,135 is a single Zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 3.0V and a maximum power dissipation of 135mW. It exhibits a leakage current of 10μA and is used for applications that require a low voltage source with low power dissipation requirements. Its working principle is based on the reverse breakdown voltage that occurs when the applied voltage has reached the specific level. This device is often used for precision voltage regulation, signal rectification, and other low power applications.
