Diodes, which are among the most commonly used components in semiconductor applications, are electric solid-state components that are used to direct the flow of electricity in a circuit. Zener diodes are a type of diode that is used to regulate and control the flow of current in a circuit. Single Zener diodes, such as the BZV85-C15,133, are uniquely designed semiconductor devices that are used to regulate the voltage by allowing current to flow through it in either direction, depending on the voltage in the circuit.

The BZV85-C15,133 is a single Zener diode with a zener voltage of 15V and a maximum power dissipation of 500mW. This device is available in SOD-123 package and is commonly used in battery-powered devices, where a constant voltage output is needed. It is also well-suited for applications where an accurate voltage reference is necessary, such as in power supplies and regulation circuits.

In addition to its voltage regulation capabilities, the BZV85-C15,133 is also widely used in circuits as a voltage limiting device. The diode will limit any fluctuations in the voltage in the circuit to the zener voltage to keep it as stable as possible. This is useful in applications where sensitive components, such as transistors, are connected and a high voltage or surge could potentially damage them.

The BZV85-C15,133 works on the principle of a Zener breakdown whereby excess current is allowed to flow through the diode in the reverse direction in order to keep the voltage in the circuit at a predetermined value. When the voltage in the circuit is lower than the zener voltage of the diode, the diode acts like an insulator and does not allow current to flow through it. When the voltage attempts to exceed the zener voltage, the diode begins to conduct current and will reduce the voltage to the zener voltage.

In summary, the BZV85-C15,133 is a single Zener diode used to regulate and limit voltage. The device is widely used in battery-powered devices, as well as in circuits requiring a constant voltage reference or protection against voltage fluctuations. The diode works on the principle of Zener breakdown by allowing excess current to flow through it in the reverse direction in order to maintain a stable voltage.
