Application Field and Working Principle of BZX55C10 A0G Diodes

The BZX55C10 A0G diodes belong to the Zener Single series and are mainly used for regulating and suppressing transient voltage conditions. These diodes are particularly suitable for applications that need a low reverse leakage current. They are also commonly used in digital circuits or any circuit where the Zener voltage needs to be accurately regulated (such as in power supplies).

Working Principle

When no voltage is applied to the BZX55C10 A0G diodes, they can be considered to be off state and have no electrical effect on the circuit. When voltage is applied to the diode, it turns on and a forward current passes through it. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the Zener voltage of the diode, current will start to flow from the diode in the opposite direction. This current is referred to as the “reverse leakage current”. As the voltage increases, the current through the diode also increases. This phenomenon is known as “Zener breakdown”.

The reverse leakage current of the BZX55C10 A0G diode is very low, which means that it can accurately regulate voltage across various components. This makes it ideal for applications where accuracy of voltage regualtion is necessary. This diode is also capable of withstanding high voltage spikes, which makes it perfect for applications that require voltage protection.
