CZRF52C30 Discrete Semiconductor Products

The CZRF52C30 Diode- Zener- Single is a common semiconductor device used for low-voltage operation in many different types of applications. It is designed to regulate the voltage in circuits, prevent surges and provide protection from electrostatic discharges (ESD).The CZRF52C30 is rated for an operating voltage range of between 2.4V and 30V and can deliver a maximum reverse voltage of 36V when working in reverse bias (i.e., when the diode is reversed). The device is capable of dissipating up to 2.7 watts of power and offers a low-noise, low-leakage design.In terms of its construction, the CZRF52C30 consists of a single silicon die, mounted onto a black anodized aluminum bonded wire leadframe. The silicon die is made up of multiple layers; the topmost layer, known as the “collector” is the only layer that is responsible for the breakdown voltage rating. The layer underneath, known as the “base”, is responsible for the device’s current ratings, including its maximum continuous current (Ic) and its peak instantaneous current (Ipk).The CZRF52C30 is typically used in a variety of applications where a low-voltage device is required. These applications include TV systems, motor control circuits, test measurement, and power supplies. The CZRF52C30 is also suitable for use in battery-powered systems, such as laptop and cell phone batteries.The working principle of the CZRF52C30 is based on the breakdown voltage principle. This principle states that when the voltage across a diode exceeds its breakdown voltage, known as the Zener voltage, it will conduct current in a reverse direction. This current will be limited by the diode’s resistance. As the voltage increases, more current will flow and the diode will start to dissipate power (in the form of heat). The breakdown voltage is determined by the reverse bias applied to the device (known as Vz).The CZRF52C30 also contains a transistor which acts as a switch, allowing the device to be turned on or off, depending on the current flow. When the current starts to increase, the current flow will be limited by the diode’s resistance. This ensures that the device does not dissipate more power than the maximum allowable amount. This feature is particularly useful in applications where power dissipation needs to be kept within limits.The CZRF52C30 is a reliable and cost-effective device, which makes it a popular choice for use in many different types of circuits and applications. It is capable of handling a wide range of voltages and can provide excellent protection against surges and ESD. As such, it is well suited for many types of commercial and industrial applications.
