Working Principle

The BZX84C24VLFHT116 is a Zener diode, with an internal breakdown voltage regulator junction. This junction provides the diode with an adjustable voltage regulation. When the diode\'s cathode is at a higher voltage than its anode, current flows in the forward direction. As the voltage between the cathode and anode decreases, the current through the diode decreases as well. When the voltage between the cathode and anode drops below a certain threshold, the diode enters breakdown or Zener voltage regulation. When in this mode, the diode becomes essentially non-conductive, and the voltage between the cathode and anode is clamped at a set value. The breakdown voltage of the diode can be adjusted by changing the internal junction parameters.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the BZX84C24VLFHT116 is a versatile and powerful Zener diode, capable of regulating and protecting electronic circuits against overvoltage damage. Its wide range of applications, combined with its adjustable breakdown voltage and high operating frequency make it an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications.
