It is a versatile diode that can be used in a variety of circuits or applications.

The working principle of the BZX384-C22,115 can be explained in a few simple steps. The PN junction of the diode is reverse biased, meaning that the anode is connected to the more positive voltage source and the cathode is connected to the more negative voltage source. This creates a bias voltage across the diode, allowing current to flow through the diode when a voltage above the reverse breakdown voltage is applied. When the applied voltage is below the reverse breakdown voltage, no current flows through the diode. The Zener junction regulates the current flow by controlling the voltage applied across the diode. When the voltage exceeds the specified voltage, the current is limited and the voltage is clipped to the Zigzag level.

In conclusion, the BZX384-C22,115 is a versatile single Zener diode rated for a voltage of 22 volts and a power rating of 115 Watts. It offers protection against transients and over-voltage and is ideal for use in analog or digital applications. The diode has a reverse breakdown voltage of 22 volts, a maximum junction temperature of +150 °C and a thermal resistance of 46 °C/W. The working principle of the BZX384-C22,115 involves regulating current flow by controlling the voltage applied across the diode.
