CLL4733A BK

Introduction

The CLL4733A BK single- package Zener diode series provides reliable, low cost, standard level protection for a variety of applications. The low-power Zener type diodes offer improved thermal resistance, moisture resistance, and low-noise characteristics for many applications.

Applications

The CLL4733A BK series is widely used in protection circuits, voltage regulating circuits, electrical switching devices, and other digital and analog circuits. It can be used to regulate and control the supply voltage, to protect digital logic circuitry from damage due to high voltages, and to reduce the amount of current that can flow through a circuit to prevent damage.

The CLL4733A BK series is also useful in applications that require transient protection, such as surge suppressors and line terminator circuits. It can also be used in LED lighting, automotive electronics, and consumer electronics, as well as medical, industrial, and military applications.

Working Principle

The CLL4733A BK series uses a Zener diode to regulate the voltage across it. Zener diodes are special purpose diodes that are designed to allow current to flow in only one direction and to regulate the voltage across it. The voltage across the diode is a function of its construction. The diode is constructed with a positive and negative contact, separated by a semiconductor material that has been doped with specific impurities.

When a voltage is applied to the diode, electrons from the doping impurities are attracted to the positive contact and electrons from the semiconductor material are attracted to the negative contact. This creates a closed circuit and current will flow. In order to regulate the voltage, a voltage drop is caused across the diode. This voltage drop is called a "Zener voltage". The CLL4733A BK series is designed to have a Zener voltage between 5.5V and 7.0V.

The CLL4733A BK series is also designed to have a low leakage current, which enables it to regulate the voltage more accurately. The Zener diode will regulate the voltage across it until it reaches the Zener voltage. If the voltage exceeds the Zener voltage, the diode will breakdown, allowing current to flow from the negative side to the positive side.

Conclusion

The CLL4733A BK single-package Zener diode series is designed to provide reliable, low cost, standard level protection for a variety of applications. These low-power Zener type diodes offer improved thermal resistance, moisture resistance, and low-noise characteristics. The Zener diodes can be used to regulate and control the supply voltage, to protect digital logic circuitry from damage due to high voltages, and to reduce the amount of current that can flow through a circuit to prevent damage.
