CMHZ5225B BK

Diodes - Zener - Single is a special category of diodes which are designed to ensure a stable current and voltage across a circuit. It is most commonly used to protect sensitive components from sudden power surges, to maintain a steady voltage in a circuit, or to protect against overvoltage. One example of this type of diode is the CMHZ5225B BK. This Zener diode offers a wide range of applications and works using a simple operating principle.

The CMHZ5225B BK is a low-cost, low-leakage, low-capacitance, small signal diode that can be used in a variety of applications. It can be used as a reverse-biased protection for transistors and MOSFETs, and also as over-voltage/reverse-voltage protection in mobile phone chargers, UPS systems, and other electronic devices. It is also used as a replacement for Schottky diodes in applications where low leakage and low capacitance are required.

The CMHZ5225B BK operates by passing one direction of current and blocking the other direction. Its reverse breakdown voltage is 5.2V, with a maximum operating power dissipation rating of 500mW and a maximum operating current of 5mA. It also features a relatively low forward voltage drop of 1.1V and fast reverse recovery time of 30ns.

The working principle behind this diode is based on the Zener effect. When the voltage reaches the Zener voltage, the diode starts to allow a small current in the reverse direction, known as the Zener current. This current is regulated by the device, as it can be adjusted by changing the amount of current or voltage applied to the circuit. This provides the device with the ability to control the current and voltage in a consistent and stable manner.

In summary, the CMHZ5225B BK is a single Zener diode with a wide range of applications. It can be used as a reverse-biased protection for transistors and MOSFETs, and also as over-voltage/reverse-voltage protection in electronic devices. It operates by passing one direction of current and blocking the other direction and its working principle is based on the Zener effect.
