BZX585-C10,135 application field and working principle

Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZX585-C10,135 is a part of the diode-zener single family of diodes. It is commonly used for voltage regulation and protection. The device is designed to provide a stable and constant voltage output over a broad range of input voltages regardless of the loading condition.

How does it work?

The device consists of a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor junction. This creates a diode barrier that only allows current to flow in one direction. When connected in series with a voltage source, the applied voltage will forward bias the diode, thus leading to current flow. Electrons that are generated in the n-type conductor will flow across the junction and holes that are created in the p-type conductor will allow electrons to flow towards it. The power dissipation across the junction will be equal to the current multiplied by the voltage drop.

When the current through the diode exceeds its breakdown voltage, it will stop passing in the forward bias direction and the voltage drop across it will become stable. This breakdown voltage or zener voltage is set so that the device will supply a constant regulated voltage over a wide range of input voltages. The current through the device is very low at this point, however, it is still sufficient to maintain the breakdown voltage.

Applications

Due to the stable voltage output and low current consumption, the BZX585-C10,135 is widely used for many applications. It is commonly found in regulation circuits, power supplies, overvoltage protection circuits, and transient voltage suppressors. Its stable and low current characteristic also makes it suitable for electric circuit protection and controlling current flow in electric circuits.

The device is also very popular for voltage reference applications such as generating a stable reference current for amplifiers, oscillators and frequency dividers. This is because it provides a stable voltage reference over a wide range of temperature and input voltages. The device’s ability to provide a stable and constant voltage output is also useful in the field of electric motor control.
