BZX79C3V0_T50R

The BZX79C3V0_T50R is a single Zener diode, engineered and designed to provide a reliable and consistent voltage regulation when connected in series with a voltage source and current limiting resistor. It offers a wide range of protection, and its low-profile package makes it suitable for many different types of applications.

Application Field

This diode is suitable for a wide range of applications, including power supply regulation, current limit protection, and many other applications where a constant and low voltage is demanded. It can also be used in medical and telecom systems, as it offers very low leakage current properties. Other uses include over-voltage protection, and stabilizing the output of a DC power supply.

Working Principle

The working principle of BZX79C3V0_T50R is based on a simple electric current controlled system, where a Zener diode is placed in series with a voltage source and a current-limiting resistor. When the voltage across the diode reaches its zener voltage, it increases its conductance and current passes through it. This limits the voltage across the source and provides a stable and consistent output.

The zener voltage is determined by the packaging options and the design of the diode. It can range from a few volts to tens of volts, and depends on the environment. The current-limiting resistor is necessary to avoid the diode from dissipating too much power, as well as to ensure the diode operates in its linear region.
