Diodes are semiconductor devices used in a variety of applications. Zener diodes, sometimes called zener zaps, are an important type of diode used to regulate voltage and protect other electronic equipment. Typically, zener diodes are made of a semiconductor material that is either heavily doped with donor or acceptor impurities, or has a junction between two opposing plastics. The BZX55C20 A0G is a single zener diode applicable in power supplies, clippers, and other general purpose circuits.

BZX55C20 A0G Application Field and Working Principle

The BZX55C20 A0G is a single zener diode with a 20-volt zener voltage. This diode comes in a mini SOT-23 surface mount package and is ideal for applications requiring tight phase tolerance or low-noise characteristics. The diode is suitable for operations in the Voltage Range of 3.0V to 40V and Resistance Range of 200kohms – 3Mohm. This diode is available in both DO-35 and SOT-23 packages with pre-established zener voltage.

The BZX55C20 A0G works by allowing current to flow in one direction (forward bias) whilst blocking current from flowing in the opposite direction (reverse bias), unless its reversed breakdown voltage is exceeded. It allows current to flow freely in the forward direction, allowing it to be used in a voltage regulation circuit. This diode can also be used for protection in AC/DC converters, in clipped saturations oc-oscillators and in voltage references.

The BZX55C20 A0G has a number of unique features that make it a preferred choice when it comes to power supplies and general circuits. Some of these features include the following:

• High surge power dissipation
• Low noise
• High reverse surge capability
• High forward current capability
• Long term stability

The working principle of the BZX55C20 A0G is relatively simple. In the forward bias mode, current is allowed to flow from the anode to the cathode. When the voltage on the anode side is higher than the zener voltage, the diode’s resistance decreases, and current is allowed to flow from the anode to the cathode. When the voltage on the anode side is lower than the zener voltage, the diode’s resistance increases and current is blocked from flowing. This is how the Zener diode regulates the voltage.

In the reverse bias mode, the current is blocked from flowing. However, once the voltage on the anode increases beyond the diode’s breakdown voltage, the diode’s resistance decreases and current is allowed to flow. This can be used to protection circuits from damaging voltages or to limit the maximum current that can flow in a circuit.

The BZX55C20 A0G is a good choice in applications that require tight voltage regulation, low-noise characteristics, or high power dissipation. It can used for a variety of applications such as power supplies, clippers, voltage references, and more.
