Diodes come in various types and Performance. Zener diodes in particular, are heavy-duty power diodes meant for voltage regulation, dampening or buffering.The C1Z180B TR is one type of Zener diode which has specific applications fields and a unique working principle. Let’s take a look at what makes the C1Z180B TR diode special.

C1Z180B TR Application Field

The C1Z180B TR are mainly used as voltage regulators, which require a higher reverse voltage for a wide range of applications. They are most often found in regulated power supplies, electronic circuits, and electronic test equipment. Zener diodes are useful for protecting sensitive parts of a circuit from overvoltage stress from the power supply. The C1Z180B TR diodes can also act as clamping devices, controlling current transients in a circuit or as frequency shifters, generating variable frequency signals.

C1Z180B TR Working Principle

The C1Z180B TR diodes use the reverse breakdown mechanism for achieving the desired effects of switching and regulating. A Zener diode is a heavily doped p-n junction device with reversed bias. Under normal operation, the current through it is nearly zero and the voltage across it is zero as well. When the reverse bias is increased to a certain point, the diode’s depletion layer gets thinner, allowing current to flow through the diode. This is known as the breakdown voltage or cut-in voltage, and the C1Z180B TR has an assured breakdown voltage of 18 volts.

As voltage increases, the current through the diode remains constant and at a very low level. The Zener diode acts as a regulator of current by limiting the output voltage of the power supply, and therefore maintaining a constant output current. This effect is known as the Zener effect, and it is the basis of the C1Z180B TR diode\'s working principle.

C1Z180B TR Characteristics

The C1Z180B TR diodes have a power rating of 0.6 watts, a maximum reverse current leakage of 20 microamps, and a Zener break down voltage range from 16.5 to 19 volts. It is also a miniature diode that is RoHS compliant and available in industry standard SOT-23 package, making them perfect for applications where space is an issue. As for the temperature coefficient, the C1Z180B TR diodes have a low temperature coefficient of 6.3mV/deg C, making them very reliable for use in voltage regulation.

Conclusion

The C1Z180B TR diodes are heavy-duty power diodes meant for voltage regulation, dampening or buffering. They are most often found in regulated power supplies, electronic circuits, and electronic test equipment, and are useful for protecting sensitive parts of a circuit from overvoltage stress. The C1Z180B TR is one type of Zener diode which has specific applications fields and a unique working principle, making them ideal for use in voltage regulation applications.
