CDLL6485

Diodes - Zener - Single

The CDLL6485 is a single Zener diode, a type of diode that enables an electric current to flow in one direction without allowing any flow in the opposite direction. It is especially useful as a voltage regulator, allowing voltage levels to stay within tight tolerances. They are commonly used in applications such as power supplies, amplifiers, and clamping circuits.

Application Field

The CDLL6485 is widely used in power related applications such as adapters, power entry modules, power tool packs and power supplies. It is also used in automotive applications such as underhood controllers, instrument clusters and displays. Additionally, it can be used in consumer and commercial battery operated electronics, audio amplifiers, motor speed controllers and other industrial controllers.

Working Principle

A Zener diode is a type of diode specially designed for voltage regulation. It allows a reverse bias current to flow when the voltage reaches a certain threshold. This “Zener voltage” is determined by the doping level in the diode. As the voltage rises above the Zener voltage, the diode becomes “forward biased”, allowing a small current to flow, which helps to keep the voltage at the level set by the tolerances of the diode. This helps to maintain a steady voltage in the circuit without any fluctuations caused by external sources.

The CDLL6485 is a single Zener diode with a Zener voltage of 4.6V. It has a low power consumption and a high tolerance, making it highly suited for power supply applications where constant voltage is required. It features a low capacitance, which helps to minimize EMC noise, and a fast switch time, which helps to quickly recover from transients. It also has a reverse surge rating of 500A, which is useful for clamping applications.

Conclusion

The CDLL6485 is a single Zener diode, a type of diode that enables an electric current to flow in a single direction and helps keep the voltage within tight tolerances. It is widely used in power related applications, as well as automotive and consumer battery operated electronics. This diode also features a low capacitance, a fast switch time, and a reverse surge rating of 500A, all of which make it highly suited for its intended applications.
