CMSZDA10V TR Discrete Semiconductor Products

CMSZDA10V TR Application Field and Working Principle

The CMSZDA10V TR is part of the diode-zener arrays family of products, which are designed to provide constant voltage source and protection to the various electrical components in the system. The CMSZDA10V TR is a 10 V Zener Array which provides two channels of constant voltage with two corresponding reference voltages in parallel. This enables current-limiting with integrated resistor networks for overvoltage and overcurrent protection.

The application field of CMSZDA10V TR includes consumer electronics, such as computers, game consoles, TV sets, audio equipment, etc., as well as industrial electronics, communications, and other control systems. Its main function is to provide a reliable power source and reduce the risk of overvoltage and overcurrent. It also helps stabilize the voltage level and ensure the circuit will not be affected even when the input power supply has some fluctuation.

Working Principle

The CMSZDA10V TR uses a network of Zener diodes and resistors, which allow it to carry out its functions in a safe and efficient way. It functions as an array of parallel connected diodes, where each diode has its own voltage limit, which is defined by its zener voltage properties. The Zener voltage of each diode defines the safety level, as it helps ensure that the main power source does not exceed its maximum voltage. When the voltage level exceeds its specified limit, the Zener diodes activate their current limiters, which in turn cuts off the power supply.

The resistor network is also included in the design of CMSZDA10V TR, which is used to lower the incoming voltage to the reference set points. The reference voltage is then used to control the load current of the different channels. Each channel of the array is provided with a dedicated reference voltage, and together they form the overall operational set points. The reference voltage is also used to control the current-limiting feature of the array, by keeping it within the allowable limit.

Conclusion

The CMSZDA10V TR is a very effective device for the protection of the electrical components in the system. By providing a constant voltage source and protecting against overvoltage and overcurrent it ensures that the electrical components in the system will not be affected by changes in the input power supply. It also functions by using a network of Zener diodes, along with a resistor network for current limiters, which is why it is ideal for applications that require reliable power sources.
