CZRER52C18 Datasheet/PDFThe CZRER52C18 Damper diode is a single zener diode designed as an ESD suppressor. It is part of a series of dies made using the Nitz-MOS-TM technology. The device is designed to dissipate the energy of an electrical surge with a wide frequency range, which enables the device to protect the host and the downstream components from ESD and EFT. One of the main applications of the CZRER52C18 diode is to provide an additional ESD protection on USB, eMMC, UFS, and PCIE lines.
CZRER52C18 diode has a wide range of features such as a maximum operating temperature of 125°C and a 5-6V clamp voltage. Its package technology provides many advantages compared to traditional technologies, such as an ultra-low on resistance and an ultra-fast reaction time. The package also helps to reduce the use of space, as well as noise and crosstalk. The CZRER52C18 diode provides noise immunity, which ensures the host\'s data integrity. In addition, the CZRER52C18 is RoHS compliant.
The CZRER52C18 has both peak pulse current and reverse leakage current specifications. Peak pulse current specifies the highest current the diode can handle at a given voltage before it breaks down, while reverse leakage current is the maximum amount of reverse current that the diode can handle without significant reduction of its blocking properties. In addition, the CZRER52C18 has a forward voltage drop that is typical of a zener diode.
The working principle of the CZRER52C18 diode is simple. When it is subjected to an electrical surge, the device\'s voltage will rapidly increase until it reaches the breakdown voltage set by the manufacturer. When the voltage reaches the breakdown voltage, the device changes from an insulator to a conductor, allowing current to flow from the anode to the cathode. This process is known as zenering. After the surge has been dissipated, the diode returns to its nonconductive state. The fast response time of the device ensures that the energy of the surge is quickly dissipated.
The CZRER52C18 is a single zener diode that is typically used as an ESD suppressor. It has low on resistance, fast reaction time, and high temperature resistance, which makes it suitable for high-density ESD suppression applications. Its RoHS compliance and peak pulse current and reverse leakage current specifications make it the diode of choice for many applications.
