Diodes are commonly used in power electronics, and Zener diodes are the most important component in that field. The BZX84C20-TP is a 80 V Zener diode, specifically designed to handle high voltage circuits and operate at low voltage. In this article, we will take a look at the application field of the BZX84C20-TP and its working principle.

Application field of the BZX84C20-TP

For applications requiring high performance, stable and reliable power conversion, the BZX84C20-TP Zener diode is the perfect choice. This Zener diode is capable to withstand high voltage circuits and provides over-voltage protection. The BZX84C20-TP is widely used in many places including industrial application and aerospace, military, automotive and telecommunications electronics.

The BZX84C20-TP is mainly used for controlling, limiting and protecting the circuit from excessive electric current. It is used in the surge voltage protection circuits, static power switching circuits and in analog circuits. Additionally, the BZX84C20-TP is used in circuit breaker fuse protection for AC and DC electric arcs, inverter circuit protections and electric arc faults in automotive applications.

Working principle of the BZX84C20-TP

The working principle of the BZX84C20-TP revolves around the inherent properties of the same material used in diodes. That is, it contains heavily-doped semiconductor material, which is injected with various dopants to make it behave like a diode. The diode includes two p-n junctions connected back to back, where the p-n junction acts as a voltage regulator, further known as a Zener diode.

When a low-intensity reverse bias voltage is applied to the diode, a reverse field is created which prevents any current from passing through the semiconductor material. When the reverse bias voltage is countered by a higher forward bias voltage, the current starts to flow through the semiconductor material. The higher the voltage, the more current starts to flow, until it reaches a certain point known as its Zener Voltage, where the current stops.

The Zener diode is designed to break the current flow at a certain voltage if it is higher over its Zener Voltage, thus preventing the damage caused by it. The BZX84C20-TP is an 80 V Zener diode, which is highly efficient and capable of breaking current at 80V or higher. Due to its high performance, it is widely used in high-voltage circuits for protecting them from damage.

Conclusion

The BZX84C20-TP is a high performance Zener Diode which is used to control, limit and protect electric circuits from excessive current. It is widely used in various applications including industrial and aerospace, military, automotive and telecommunications electronics. The BZX84C20-TP operates at an 80V reverse bias voltage and can break current at higher voltage than its Zener Voltage. Thus, it is highly efficient and reliable in providing over-voltage protection.
