The BZX84-C6V8,235 is a single zener diode. It is a general purpose part that is used in a variety of applications. It is a low-power, low-voltage type of diode that works by allowing an electrical current to flow in one direction and blocking it from flowing in the other direction. This makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring a stabilized voltage supply.

This diode has a maximum voltage of 6.8 volts and a maximum current of 235 milliamps. This makes it suitable for applications ranging from power supply regulation to overvoltage protection circuits. It also has a reverse breakdown voltage of 5.4 volts and an operating temperature range from -65 to +150°C. These characteristics allow the part to be used in applications that require that the input voltage be clamped to a safe level in order to protect other elements of the circuit.

The basic operation of a zener diode is based on its ability to control the flow of current in response to its applied voltage. When the reverse voltage applied is greater than the zener voltage, a breakdown occurs which results in an avalanche current flow. The avalanche current is a function of the applied voltage and is limited by the maximum current rating of the diode itself.

In power supply regulation applications, the BZX84-C6V8,235 can be used to protect the input from high voltages that could damage other components. It can also be used to regulate the output voltage of the power supply. This is done by adjusting the applied voltage to a level below the zener voltage rating of the diode. This causes a breakdown, resulting in a controlled current flow that serves to maintain a constant output voltage.

The BZX84-C6V8,235 can also be used as an overvoltage protection device. This is done by connecting the diode in series with the circuit, such that any voltages exceeding the zener voltage rating cause breakdown and limit the current flow. When the voltage is below the zener voltage, the diode acts as an open circuit, preventing current from passing from the input to the output of the circuit.

The BZX84-C6V8,235 can also be used for general protection circuits, protecting sensitive components from spikes in voltages or excessive current. When used in this way, it works much like a fuse, detecting when the voltage or current exceeds a certain threshold and triggering a controlled breakdown voltage to shunt the current away.

The BZX84-C6V8,235 is a versatile and reliable single zener diode. Its low voltage and current requirements, combined with its operating temperature range and breakdown voltage, make it a suitable choice for a wide variety of applications. Its ability to control the flow of current in response to applied voltage makes it particularly well suited for power supply regulation and overvoltage protection circuits.
