It has an operating current of 3mA, maximum reverse voltage of 7 volts, and a nominal power dissipation of 200mA.

Application Field

The application field of the BZV55C2V7 L0G is wide-ranging and includes many electronic devices such as power supplies, inverters, motor controls and amplifiers. This diode is particularly useful for any application where a low-voltage DC voltage reference is required. As such, it is often used to provide a stable voltage for applications such as amplifiers, voltage regulators, converters and surge protectors.

Working Principle

The BZV55C2V7 L0G works by allowing current to flow when the voltage applied to its anode (positive end) is greater than the voltage applied to its cathode (negative end). When the voltage applied is lower than the voltage of the diode’s cathode, the diode will not allow current to flow. This is known as the Zener breakdown phenomenon, which is the basis of the BZV55C2V7’s functioning.

The governing principle that allows the diode to maintain its low-voltage reference is the difference between the zener breakdown voltage and the reverse breakdown voltage. The zener breakdown voltage is the voltage at which the diode begins to allow current to pass. The reverse breakdown voltage is the voltage at which the diode will stop allowing current to pass. When the voltage exceeds the zener breakdown point, current begins to flow and the diode begins to regulate. However, as it reaches the reverse breakdown voltage, it will begin to reduce the current to prevent overload or damage to itself or other components.

Conclusion

The BZV55C2V7 L0G is a single zener diode that is commonly used for voltage regulation and surge protection in a variety of electronic devices. It operates on the Zener breakdown phenomenon and its low voltage reference is governed by the difference between the zener breakdown voltage and the reverse breakdown voltage. This allows it to provide a stable voltage in applications such as amplifiers, voltage regulators, converters and surge protectors.
