Diodes - Zener - Single generally refers to Zener diodes that are formed from a single crystal of semiconductor material and have a breakdown voltage of less than 62 volts. The BZX384B6V2-HE3-18 is an example of this type of component and is a low-power, low current, high-voltage breakdown, 1.8V single-zone component.

Application Field

The BZX384B6V2-HE3-18 component is most common in low power electronic circuitry, such as computer or audio systems in which it is used as a capacitor replacement or to protect the electronic parts from electric surges or other electrical disturbances. In particular, the BZX384B6V2-HE3-18 is suitable for applications where power dissipation is limited and accuracy of voltage is required.

Working Principle

The BZX384B6V2-HE3-18 works under a relatively simple principle in which the breakdown voltage is maintained between the anode and the cathode. In this breakdown voltage, when a current passes through the diode, the voltage increases, causing the diode to enter into reverse breakdown until it reaches the reverse breakdown voltage. This reverse breakdown voltage is the diode\'s breakdown voltage and it maintains a constant potential between the anode and cathode. Since the reverse breakdown voltage is evenly distributed across the junction, a current can be kept flowing at a predetermined voltage. Therefore, a constant voltage is controlled, and it is this constant voltage that allows the diode to act as a protector of electronic components.

Advantages

The BZX384B6V2-HE3-18 provides many advantages over other components in terms of its lower power consumption, its improved stability and accuracy, and the diminutive size. This makes it ideal for those applications where size must be kept to a minimum, and where power consumption is important. Additionally, due to its incredibly low reverse leakage current, it is suitable for use in high-precision circuits.

Disadvantages

The main disadvantage of the BZX384B6V2-HE3-18 is its limited voltage breakdown range. This is because the voltage breakdown decreases with a change in temperature which results in a decrease in the breakdown voltage. Additionally, there can be considerable power dissipation in some applications, which can lead to temperature increases.

Conclusion

The BZX384B6V2-HE3-18 Zener diode is an excellent choice for low-power applications in which accuracy of voltage and stability are important. This component offers improved stability and accuracy, as well as a small package size and low power consumption. However, it is important to note its limitations due to its limited breakdown voltage and increased power dissipation in some applications.
