CMPZ5242B TR

The CMPZ5242B TR is a single Zener diode manufactured by Toshiba. It is a general-purpose, low-power Zener diode with a low Vz tolerance and a wide voltage range, from 5 V to 200 V. It is ideal for applications requiring voltage regulation in data communications and consumer electronic devices such as telephones, computers, and televisions.

The CMPZ5242B TR is housed in a small, through-hole package and is available in various standard and custom lead configurations. The package also helps protect the device from electromagnetic interfere (EMI).

The CMPZ5242B TR has a low forward voltage drop and a low Zener impedance to provide optimum operating stability and current limiting. Its low temperature coefficient ensures a stable, consistent reference voltage. Its low leakage current and high breakdown voltage minimize reverse power dissipation. The CMPZ5242B TR also features a low thermal resistance, allowing it to dissipate heat quickly and efficiently.

The CMPZ5242B TR has a wide range of applications, including voltage regulation in voltage-controlled oscillators, signal conditioners, power supplies, and interface circuits. Its low Vz tolerance makes it ideal for applications requiring precise voltage regulation, such as voltage stabilizers. It can also be used as a reference voltage in data converters, digital-to-analog converters, and other analog signal processing applications.

The working principle of the CMPZ5242B TR involves a Zener diode that is connected in a reverse-biased configuration. When the applied voltage reaches the Zener breakdown voltage, known as Vz, the diode suddenly conducts current. This process is called Zener breakdown, and it allows the diode to regulate voltage within a prescribed voltage range. Since its operation depends on a reverse-biased characteristic, the CMPZ5242B TR is classified as a Zener diode.

The CMPZ5242B TR is a low-power Zener diode with a wide voltage range, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications. Its low temperature coefficient ensures stable, consistent reference voltage, while its low leakage current and high breakdown voltage minimize reverse power dissipation. It features a low thermal resistance that allows it to quickly and efficiently dissipate heat. All of these features make the CMPZ5242B TR a versatile and reliable device for applications requiring voltage regulation.
